Just few points, the crediting should be (MConrads & Prizyetsa) and you missed a few bits of orange above the mast. Also I assume that the missile comes from the mid VLS cells and should be above them. Also color the masts and weapons the same as the ship(unless their is a valid reason)

That's some serious overkill for an OPV you've got there.
The key features of an OPV are range, endurance, seakeeping and (usually) low cost.
Armament are really a secondary concern. Usually armament consists of no more than a single 57-76mm gun and in many cases it not even that.
Of the top of my head I can't think of any OPV that carries missiles on a daily basis, except maybe mapads.

Originally I meant this ship to have an anti-piracy/shipping regulation with the secondary ability of bolstering the fleet. The RHB carries the boarding party, and they will be armed. Other than that, the main gun and the CIWS should be enough to defend the ship at closer range.

The reason I put missiles on it is that this ship is borderline corvette, so I assumd it would be usefull to have a SAM system on board.

I apreciate the comments, they are really usefull and interesting to look into! :)

If you just want a SAM system but want to keep a low-cost pirate killer role, I would look into a MANPADs such as Stinger or Mistral.

True, but they are few and far in between, and in most cases they were build as combat units but ended up as patrol units.
