That's a huge configuration change, I wish you luck. They were entirely different ship classes.

"Why do I do this? Because the money's good, the scenery changes and they let me use explosives, okay?"

Finally, a photo did come through.  It took me down memory lane to when I was a child living on Alameda Naval Air Station, where USS Ranger (CVA 61) was home ported. My Dad was a Hospital Corpsman (HM1-HMC) on one of the carriers there, USS Hancock (CVA 19). They were extremely impressive ships!

Your model looks great so far!
