Does it have side and plan profiles of the Whidby Island Class ships,as i know the Friedman books can be a bit hit and miss with the Drawings.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

You might get some information from the ship's PAO via her website:

Depending on how paranoid the USN is right now, they might even send you a photograph. I have a fine one of USS Princeton (CG-59).
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Seeing a good piccie of the ship on their web site made me realise it's much more modern that the Fearless. The bow lines and the superstructure show that well. And I totally missed the fact that the Airfix kit is 1/600, Doh.......

The G-Hall looks like a cross between the Albion/Bulwark and the Argus with that big box superstructure.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

OK, the pic in the book SUCKS!!  It's an inboard profile.  I can still scan it if you want.

I'll check Janes.com tomorrow and see what they've got.
I exist to pi$$ others off!!!

Thanks Anthony, it might be worth scanning it, sometimes even poor profiles show some things that others don't.  Thanks for looking at Janes too.
