Ok, new flag, new TACAN needed. FYI Tim, the dome on top of the fore mast is actually a SPQ-9B radar - this info was goven to me by the cross-section diagram on the previous page. TACANs on the San Antonio are above the bridge and I think the hanger too.

EDIT: The "RAM" words will be removed when I'm happy with the drawing and I put it on a proper template - just my notes so I know what it is!

Also, thanks guys for you help, it's really appreciated, as I've never done something like this before! Cheers!

Ok:

1. If it has a dome, it's the SPQ-9A, not the B. The B never has a dome. Never ever ever.
2. Right now, atop the pole just aft of the SPQ-9A is an old drawing of a TACAN unit. That is what I was talking about updating. It's atop the pole on the Flight three Burke I linked to as well. If your diagrams show a lightning rod, then add one similar to those on the Spruance drawings on the main site.

Ok. I dont know lots about radars/subsystems etc, which is why all I know is learnt off the ships I find out about. I just saw the diagram which Colombamike posted which labeled the dome on top of the mast as SPQ-9B. This was the assumption here.
Sorry, I thought that the small dome on top of the mast was the TACAN unit. Thanks, I'll put the new one in too.

Don't worry about it. I know that sometimes on diagrams radars that spin are shown as domes that the radar would fit inside. Sometimes the diagrams are just plain wrong too. Four years ago, I didn't know squat about shipborne radars and electronics. We all learn, and we all get better over time.

As I've noted before, you've got a good start so keep up the good work.

So, I'm pretty happy with the details right now. What do you all think?



Also, how do I submit the drawing for upload?

Well, it's going to go in the Never Built folder (because this is the earlier, never built version).

In a few months Golly will post a thread asking for the submissions, and you will post the ship in that thread. I will then go "A ha! I have that saved in my personal archive!" and not download it again when I make up the Updated USN folders for Golly. Once he uploads the USN folders it will be in the archive, your drawing will be there.

I'd suggest saving it as a .PNG file and not as a .JPG or similar file form, as this causes and has caused image artifacts such as blurring.

Already done, I've read the rules and I work everything as .PNGs

Hopefully to see the final real version (with stealthy mast)

Coming along nicely... nothing really jumps out as incorrect. Maybe a little fine-tuning of the area around the pilothouse.

Are you certain about the size and positioning of the bilge keels? They seem unlikely.
