Lego Battleship Project

This is my FS Richelieu Class battleship project in Lego. I want some input on how it looks from the viewpoint of someone else. Is the hull too tall for the length? At the lowest point of the hull (midship) it’s 7 Lego blocks tall and at the highest point (bow) it’s 9 blocks tall. I’m going to do a gradual taper down from the hull to mid ship which should end around the first barbette. I included images with measurements. If it really came down to it I suppose I could change the very bottom...
