Nice. That last picture makes it look weirdish, though. Probably just the angle.
That bow ingress/egrees area...does that door swing up? Out? Down to a damp? into a hull pocket?
She needs a name. Sadly, Goddarad had no children whose names we could use. But he DID have a great quote for a dedication plaque: "The dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."

The airlock could open like an iris or swing completely to the side (like the DS9 airlocks)to conserve space. The refit could easily have a pair of nacelles recessed under the ship's hull that swing out slightly while in flight.
So.....who do I have to kill to get you to do that kind of work on one of my designs?

Bjo has it at Thelen. So.
And seriously...an Adnorian XO? How many times over would the ship have been blown up? Would he have gone carousing with Kirkistan?

Reverend nice decal for the Airlock Safety procedures. I have noticed that in step 1 the word indicated is spelled incated.
Although it looks pretty, I would change the color scheme at the top the decal from blue to red. I would put in a big exclamation point surrounded by a triangle and replace the word WARNING with DANGER. The whole purpose of the message is to prevent someone from accidently opening the outer door into a non 21% oxygen 15 psi atmosphere and dying of hypoxia or lack of amospheric pressure because they had no life support equipment on. It should be very clear that if you ignore the sign, you could be killed or screwed up for life.
Add something like "Hypoxia and Decompression Hazard. Possible vacuum, low oxygen content, poisonous, or hazardous atmosphere ahead."
Remove the numbers because these are not steps in a procedure, only steps should have numbers. Replace numbers with bullet points.
"If red warning lights are on, personnnel MUST wear pressurized suit with life support system to exit this vessel."
Looking at the operator's manual for my Drager Dolphin Mixed Gas rebreather, the manual contains big exclamation marks with explanations with the words "Failure to follow this warning WILL result in serious personal injury or death."
New line ---
"DO NOT OPEN outer door without the permission of the Environmental Systems Engineer or EVA Operations Supervisor."
"Emergency Escape. To bypass air lock safety protocols, state "Code One Emergency!" and then follow the emergency escape procedure posted inside the "Emergency Controls" box. ALWAYS attempt to exit through the interior before using exterior hatch."
The new arrivals message does not make sense in an airlock warning and procedure decal. Personally I would remove it and make it is own decal.
"DANGER! DO NOT BYPASS NORMAL SYSTEM CYCLING"
"Verify that all tool pouches, tricorder packs, and external hoses are attached SECURELY to suit using approved fasteners before attempting exit. Failure to do so could result in damage to the environmental suit or adjacent vessels."
"DO NOT bypass or ignore test, caution, or warning lights. Doing so could result in serious personal injury or death. ONLY attempt to exit when the the "Disembark" bar flashes."
"IMPORTANT! You may experience severe and disorienting gravity changes when leaving the vessel's artificial gravity field. DO NOT bypass the required adjustment period in chamber."
"ALWAYS verify the "Hatch Sealed" test lights before using manual override apparatus. ALWAYS constantly monitor the pressurisation gauges located inside the "Emergency Controls" box as you proceed to verify pressurisation levels."
"DAMAGE CONTROL & REPAIR
In case of damage or mechanical failure, emergency covers will slide out manually from sides to seal hatches and pressurisation ducts. Emergency repairs can be performed using the tool kit located beneath the "Emergency Controls" box."
New decal ---
"WARNING! YOU ARE ENTERING A SECURED AREA
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! New arrivals must undergo a security scan from ship's security to obtain a necessary security pass before embarkation.
USE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORISED! Obey ALL orders given to you by ship's security personnel. DO NOT ignore or violate security check points or enter secure areas without prior authorisation. Failure to do so WILL result in serious personal injury or death."
I think that you need a bigger decal, or perhaps several decals stating this required information. I would make the danger more apparent in the warning decal because serious injury or death may occur if the air lock operator failed to follow the content of the warning message.
By the way, I would recommend American English spelling instead of UK English spelling in the decals. Starfleet uses American English spellings and style.
Hope my commments help Reverend.
