Okay, Here is Tennessee with 3"/50s amidships on the boat deck. I believe they were replaced with 5"/25s.

Thanks for the direction Syzmo. I've slowed down . . . I was getting to impetuous using shortcuts with stock catapults. I've already redone the masts adding a denser latice. I noticed that around1941-42 that the 5" AA guns on the boat deck were replaced by enclosed single 3" mounts. I'm not sure,but...

Okay, so I added some preliminary rails, changed the bridge superstructure, and moved the 5in/25s on the boat deck around to meet one of Tennessee's configurations.

Am I even getting close?

Having done a bit of examining photos of Tennessee, I now understand the shutters on the 5"in casement guns. Nice touch.

Karle, I believe your correct. In my emersion into the history and photos of Tennesse I happerned upon the addition of the 5"/25s but I'm still trying to locate the article. I believe it was akin to Hazegray. The catapult is a placeholder while I find an earlier on. Its still very much a WIP. Thanks...

Thank to you both,

Haven't put the rails in yet Thiel 'cause it's WIP,Haven got to that yet.

And it does look fairly accurate and I hope it gets closer with all of your help.

Someday I might even graduate form the "Beginner's Forum".
