CIWS: seems correct, indeed. never even heard of this system.... erik, by chance, do you have time to draw it for me?
I basically used the spruance waterline length for this one.... seems I was 6' off in total.... not too bad for an wild guess, I suppose xD
is there anything known on the machinery arrangement? 3 funnels for 4 turbines in 2/3 enginerooms...... I am wondering how they would set that up.

btw, erik, speaking of that book.... was there anything known on the conversion with the mk 26, what would have been changed apart from that? I have never been able to find anything, but I assumed they would become kidds basically..... is that correct?

thanks for now and in advance for the comments and checkup :P gonna try to fix and/or keep in mind the stuff you mentioned :P

That'd really be something, since in 1977, after three years of development, development of the weapon would have started two years after the commissioning of Spruance herself...

Spruance didn't get her CIWS until the early 80s.
