The radar atop the conning tower is the Mark 3 "FC" -- this was the associated fire control radar for the Mark 40 GFCS inside the top level of the conning tower (intended as a backup if the two Mark 38 directors were somehow destroyed). Mark 27 is a late-war radar that replaced the Mark 3 conning t...
Nice work. My only minor nitpick is that you've put a Mark 27 radar ahead of the fire control tower, when in reality this was the ship's forward SG surface search set. Also, on all your BB drawings you seem to be using the older version of the SG set which has an incorrectly scaled reflector. The c...
