Took a while but finally got to it...

I added service platforms for your SG radars. The stuff on the yards is so small it just gets lost in the mess so didn't bother either... you can add it if you really want.

Thanks. I know where all the stuff goes on battleships, cruisers are a bit more difficult, with less space for the smaller electronics, and the fact that it is less documentation for it. Would any of this be used in late 1944 as well?

Pretty much none of that was available in 1944 as far as I can tell. You'd likely see the AN/SPR-1 and AN/SPT-4 systems (SPR-1 on the yards and SPT-4 wagon wheels mounted ahead of the pilot house or on the fire control tower).

TDYa S-band jammers in radomes seem to be a 1945 thing as well.

TDY-1 trainable jammer assemblies (the classic set of back-to-back corner reflectors that would be remotely controlled to "shoot" jamming signals down a known enemy attack vector) were preceded by fixed TDY corner reflectors that performed a similar function - generally you'd see one on each side P&S of the fire control tower, or one mounted forward and one aft (or wherever they'd fit).

That's a very handy guide Ian, I don't know much about US ECM in this era so this is interesting and useful (not that I'm likely to start taking up USN ships!).
