Hi David, it does look wonderful, but I think I'm missing something - can you advise where the directors for the aft 20mm are?

Look for the red circles by the 20mms.

I like this rebuild, enough AA to make any kamikaze pilot think twice about starting anything!

Seems pretty reasonable to me. I have concerns about blast damage on all of the light AA, but maybe that's just the price you pay sometimes.

That exactly why I raised the 5"/38s above the deck. I looked at the Iowa class and saw what they did to avoid blast damage. Low and behold their 5"/38s were on pedestals one deck above the light AA. In an anti-aircraft role with the muzzels ponting skyward this might have made allof the difference, on a ship to ship/shore bombardment who knows but the poor sods manning the 20mms. :o
