Thanks. But I am not referring to that high antenna, I am referring to that raised curved part or whatever you call it that set on the very edge of the bow. I think some had two small guns on them. Look at the front of this....
Not to burst your bubble, but the launching orders were: South Dakota Massachusetts Indiana Alabama Iowa New Jersey Wisconsin Missouri
The 20mm "bathtubs" were only on the Iowa class. The 20mms on the bows of the North Carolina Class & South Dakota Class were placed further back. Missouri Massachusetts The bow 20mms are just above the forward anchors, instead of at the extreme end of the bow.
Because the model I just got was missing that part. I was aware but for what I paid, I was still very happy. I have seen others from the Franklin Mint on line on eBay with more wrong than that and asking more money. I contacted their customer service and they are trying to see if it is still possible to get it as the model is now discontinued. And I am not sure if it was a separate part or part of the deck. I could always try to take one off of another model but that would wreck that model and may not look right on the Franklin Mint model, even if I painted it to match. A novice would not notice it but I know it’s missing.
Oof, haven't been checking. Have I made any blank posts or posts with captions and not pictures. Damn, I love morphine but it can be distra
Depends on how your body responds to it. It relieves my pain somewhat. I never get a buzz out of opiates, but oxycontin put me in full respiratory arrest. Got a tracheostomy out of that. Lots of people take opiates recreationally. Laudanum was an opium-based product used for headaches and the like in the 1800s, sold over-the-counter. Heroin was supposed to be an improvement over other opiates, "without the addictive characters". Didn't work out that way. And I'm rambling again.

Thanks .From the reply I received, he said they would let me know when parts arrived. We shall see, it’s been a long time and I didn’t have much hope of spare parts being available.

It's a "range clock". I forget if it was for the estimated range to the enemy or the range the guns were firing at.
Range the guns are firing, which is estimated range for the enemy most often. Were there two, fore and aft? I don't remember.
