The superstructure probably serves the sape role as on any ship, housing sensors and command systems. There's at least a bridge, probably fire control, maybe some officers' quarters, etc.

As for the "funnel" structure, that's a bit harder. It could be anything from an aft fire control station to part of the warp propulsion system to auxiliary thrusters. Though in all honesty, it is likely there only to increase the resemblance to WWII French battleships.

The reactors, seeing as the 204cm railguns and the hull mounted plasma weapon have a high power consumption, would likely take up the entire back end aft of the ship after the 46cm triples. High output reactors, while powerful, are generally also quite large. Couple that with impulse rockets and you have one full ship, likely with cramped engineering spaces.

As for the fighters, as I mentioned earlier, AFOH has several VTOL fighters. Therefore, they can take off and land on an area not much larger than themselves, and don't need a runway to launch from. Docking latches would also only be in use to prevent said fighters from drifting away in space, and probably won't be engaged for atmospheric operations. Though it's hard to say, I am unfamiliar with the finer points of AFOH carrier procedures.

Granted, this is all purely speculative, we can only make guesses and assumptions regarding specific design details and internal arrangements. Bouexic will have to be the one that gives the definitive answers to what does what and where what goes inside.
