Yeah, I confirmed that the San Francisco pictures are from early 1945. That's why I decided to put together a Word doc noting all of the configuration changes.
I also noticed pictures on the museum website that showed that the Batfish had her WWII paint scheme through 1972 - and the '72 photo is in color.
So, we have a definite pattern to follow and no one can argue with how the boat's paint job turns out.
Do we have any plans of eventually putting an overhang on the forward gun bridge?
