Magnificent work! But what is the structure replacing the forward torpedo launcher onboard Kidd?

AA director. Possibly a Mk 51, but I'm not certain.

Very nice work! I remember seeing the USS Kidd on Sons of Guns...LOVED the episode where they rigged her AA guns to do a mock battle! If you haven't seen it, check it out...it's the second episode of Season 3.
