Very well done! Just two corrections for me to make:

1. get rid of that red line through the title, it is driving me crazy.

2. In 1921 she had the 10x5"/51 cal in the casemates just like you have them, plus 2 more on the 0-1 level where you have the forward 5"/25. She didn't have any 5"/25 until 1930, instead she had 4x3"/50 cal located where midships trio of 5"/25s are, 2 on each side.

Otherwise this seems to be completely accurate.

One more thing, she had a lot more portholes in the hull in that timeframe

Thanks for the good info. Her original armament has been driving me crazy. All the sources refer to an almost immediate reduction of 5"guns the removal of the 3" and the subsequent addition of 5"/25s finding drawings or photos of her as built are hard to find.

I'll gladly make the changes.

thanks again.

That red line through Tennessee Class Battleship. AHHH!!!

As far as the ship goes she is there. That is how she looked in the 20s. Well done.

Very nice work Mr. Latuch.
The only glaring problem I see is right underneath the forward turret's barrels, the capstan (I think) looks like it's above the deck and there is a very light gray line underneath it. Maybe go a shade darker on it?
Aside from that, it looks great!

Right, I'm aware of that. I'm saying that the capstan might benefit from a darker shade of gray. Contrasting the light gray of the capstan with the hull's dark gray, makes it look white to me.

I'm refamping my previous dorsal top-down views in favor of the 1920's configuration.

Here is what I have so far. My question is do I have the 0-1 deck foot print correct? Can anyone advise me?

Thanks.
