Hadn't known of this ship or her sisters before, but in a littoral environment a new version may be just what the doctor ordered.

 I have resurected this project from the "on-the-shelf-until-I-can-find-more-information" status. The crew of USS Carronade IFS-1 has some nice photos on their website, and they have proven very useful. I still need pictures of the aft end of the 01 level, port side, that shows the differences between the kit version, and "Carronade". As I understand it, that area was rebuilt. I could also use some close up pictures of the life raft cradles on the 01 level forward, the MWB davits, 01 level aft, starboard side, and close up mast detail. I have looked in as many places as I can think of, online, and I'm hoping someone here has the information I need. In the meantime, there's plenty of time to build new railings, this kit figures to be between 1:168, and 1:172 scale. I already have a drydock scene built to accomodate the finished model.
