I mean.....stubby fin thingies!
Ummm..... *thinks how to describe it*
Ah! The bridge superstructure - take that, and copy it to the side of the hull, on the big flat face at the back. Mess with the shape a bit, making it thinner. Make the leading edge perpendicular to the hull, but have the trailing edge sweep forward at a fairly sharp angle.
Hmm, that's not very clear, is it?
Draw a square. Then draw a straight line from one corner to the middle of one of the opposite sides. Take away the resultant right-angled triangle, and you're left with the sort of shape I'm trying to describe. Stick that on the side, with the angled edge at the back. This leaves you with a Stubby Fin Thingy™.

This isn't very good, is it?
Ah hell. You're a smart guy, you'll figure it out...

EDIT: Oops. Spent too long trying to describe what I was thinking. I like those engines! Shame about the shuttlebay though - what about putting it a bit further forward, or opening out of the front of that dockpoint structure?
