Very nice, but the boot topping still needs to be colored red instead of black as US warships did not have boot toppings. The black boot toppings appeared when the Navy started painting their ships grey.

This time I haven't even bothered to check pictorial evidence, and I can tell she looks very much like the real deal!

Very well done, David!
