Working on a Edsal class destroyer escort radar picket ship. These were conversions from WW II trim done in the 50"s. Does any know of a source for drawings of the modifications made to create the DER version?

Looks to be a very do-able conversion with some Evergreen sheet and tube and a couple of aftermarket guns
