Leahy and Belknap are definitely single rudder, Ships do not normally get a second rudder after launch, there would be no room for it. Any models with 2 rudders are simply wrong.
Bainbridge and Truxtun had 2 for sure.
Hello everyone, I received EV Model's 1/700 USS England (Leahy Class). Very nice kit. Since all my ships are full hull, I dig out USS Bainbridge, Belknap and Truxtun to scratch build their lower hulls all together. I researched online and believe Leahy and Belknap are with single rudder while Bainbridge and Truxtun are with twin rudder. However, some model pictures of Leahy and Belknap have twin rudder. Did they receive modification to be twin rudder? Your inputs are mostly appreciated.
