This is damn awesome. But what is the 'tower' doing in the middle of the ship? |

Thankyou! it's a element seen on the USS Texas and I loved it so much I could not resist to add it!

Nice one Alex. One minor nit, it looks like the shadows are going both ways. Is that intentional or am I just seeing things? |

It looks superb, but why the extra long catapult on the turret? |

My thought is that they would have kept the cage masts at least into WW2 like the Tennessees and Colorados. Depending on how badly they were damaged they might get more extensive refits. I don't think its impossible that a couple could have been completed with tripods, there were some thoughts about that with the South Dakotas, but I doubt they would have been refit with them. |

Actually Alex they'd have constituted the core of at least two if not three Scouting Forces ( not Task Forces/Groups yet), assuming all of them (6) would've been completed, so, one group would've been stationed in the Atlantic, the other in the Pacific, and thus would've been with Halsey's carriers, under Rear Adm. Spruance, at the time of Pearl Harbor...thus, if that attack still would've taken place these ships would've been at sea, safe from the Japanese assault ... |

This is damn awesome. But what is the 'tower' doing in the middle of the ship? Secondary main battery fire-control, since she's apparently not big enough to support a second tripod mast to have secondary main battery fire-control at equal height to the fire-control top on the foremast. It's like on the Wyoming and New York-class battleships. Oh, and ALVAMA, straighten out the catapult on C Turret, will you?
