I have adjusted the bow as @Colosseum suggested, and also added some details to the foremast.

Is there anything that people can see for details that need to be addressed?

Some things to keep in mind for the economies of a nuclear powered merchant vessel... You will have about 30% more engineering staff, and these people will have specialized skills so they will earn more than your typical marine engineer. There are additional shoreside support requirements for refuel...

One minor adjustment I'd make to an area that new artists seem to struggle with. Bows of ships generally do not change shape at the waterline.
I will do that and post the results.

I would be tempted to shorten the bows a little. At the moment the ship looks a little unbalanced with a lot of space forward but a very short quarterdeck. Other than that, it looks a very nice design. Here are my thoughts on this. With a long and narrow hull there wouldn't be a lot of buoyancy at ...

Welcome aboard! :) Nice long range foreign station cruiser, design wise is all very agreeable, styling your'e almost there, the hull seems to lack some shading (especially the stern) also you need to cut out the double black lines which give it a heavy appearance.
