I'm not talking about the boot-topping, I'm talking about the black line that's on every SB drawing that shows their waterline.

I would disagree on that. I believe it is right about where it should be. Look at the stern, only the very top of the rudder post is exposed above water, and none of the prop. Moving the waterline down would be too low. Unless you are talking about just moving the black line and leaving the red where it is at.

We will know that it's not the CL-51 Atlanta.
Ya never know, somebody could be looking at it without their glasses, and squinting, and in just the right light it might maybe be mistaken for an AA cruiser.

ok, any other major items that need addressed before I move on to trying to add sails to the 1880's version, and then replacing the masts for the late 1890's - early 1900's variant?
Also, a question... I can't seem to find a definitive answer so I'm hoping one of y'all will know... when did the USN change from the white/yellow paint to overall gray? Was that before or after the Spanish-American war?
