Ok, as long as no baseline drawing from my original was used. This version looks very nice.

She didn't have a hangar, so the heloes should be shown in the air and the Phalanx should be show fore-n-aft. Otherwise a very nice drawing.

Yes, but there's no hangar. Helicopters are only ever shown landed when there's a hangar on the ship.

Thiel, I think we are entering a grey zone here...having visited the USS Iowa, I know it was a common practice to stow the six helicopters on the fantail (not that the ships ever had the assigned number; four was most common!), so I'd accept it out of reality. As for the Phalanges (yes, plural of Phalanx!), again, we've discussed this before: the Iowas never had them in a fore-and-aft position, I repeat never! As it now is the most realistic viewing of their actual position! Besides the little white 'blotch' around the forward Phalanx mount, it's a truly superb drawing, and my hat is off for you, Paul for a magnificent rendering of the NJ! Now, please go on and do the Iowa and Wisconsin!

Thanks Bezobrazov !
When do you have visited the USS Iowa ? Before it was going in the reserve ?

If someone have also good references to today Iowa class (pictures) it will be appreciate...

Thanks in advance and greetings.

I had the opportunity to visit it in 1988 and in 1991, though at neither times did I have a camera with me, which, admittedly is so stupenduously stupid!
