Description
This my version of the Union CL USS Gray described in Devil’s Due. There are some minor differences I went with since she wasn’t completed or commissioned yet. The differences are: 1. There were no directors described for the 4” 50 DP guns, so I merged the Walkers range finder & director into one unit & put one on each side of the mid-ships deck house. 2. There were no boats described, so I put a few in. 3. The mid-ships 4” guns were described as ordinary, but I put them & all the .50 caliber MGs in tubs anyway. 4. All the 4” & .50 caliber MGs got basic splinter shields. 5. I staggered the catapults to give each a bit more clearance. 6. Since it was brand new, I gave it new model PB-1C Nancy’s instead of the older B models. 7. I went with more conservative turbine power specs. 8. Only one 5.5” director was described, but I put in another on top of the aft con. I also thought about replacing it with another .50 caliber MG mount. Latest update is from info derived from ROB. The bow is changed to conform with USS Walker design & the specifications of the 5.5" guns updated to "Dual Purpose".
