Great, I couldn't find a lot on the internet, and Navsource was unavailable. I should be posting my rough-in shortly . . . spare no pain. I find this ship more intimidating than the Pre-Dreadnaughts.

Tennessee was fun. I was looking forward to Colorado but thats how it goes.

Here is the promissed rough-in of the USS North Carolina as built.

[ img ]

She does not have the Bofors 40mms yet and is using quad USN 1.1in/28mm AA-guns.As well as 20mm singles. And yes, I know she has no railing on her main deck yet. And, the shading is rudimentary.

Thanks. I've already spotted a few things I've already changed.

Thanks, I've found most of these but especially for the navSource link. NavSource can be spotty some days I can link to it and on others I can't.

Here she is again after some minor tweeking and the addition of rails.

Yeah it needs work. I just realised my freeboard and draft were off to and am in the process of fixing it. I work fast and require lots of refit . . . but it's the way i work. Here's the fix.
