Great effort so far, though with top views you need to be careful of the shading, ie the sloped faces on the turret at the top/those facing fore as well would be lighter than the roof and the bottom/those facing aft faces darker |

What year are you going for in your most recent drawing? I believe, either as built or shortly afterwards the ship was armed with 8 3" guns on the boat deck and 2 5"/51cal. By the late3 1930's those had all been replaced with 8 5"/25cal guns and shortly before the attack on Pearl Harbor 4 3"/50cal were added because of the shortage of 1.1 quad mounts. There was 1 on a platform on each side of the superstructure a few decks up and 1 on each side of the after cage mast. |

What are the 5"-guns amidships? They look like the long-barreled 5"/38". |

Those are the 5"/38 open mounts. You can find the 5"/25s on this drawing: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/939 ... on1933.png |
