Thank you so much, Ralph for the information. I will try to scratch-build to reflect this feature.

Belknap herself was involved in a serious collision with the USS John F. Kennedy CV, which destroyed most of her superstructure. When it was rebuilt, that structure you see was added. It was for extra command staff. The rest of the class did not get it. So, photos you see of Belknap with it are post-collision, while the photos you see of her without it are pre-collision.

Hi everyone, I have had great advice from fellow ship modelers on this site about CG-16, CG-26, CGN-25 and CGN-35 rudder for scratch-building full hull 1/700 out of EV, JAG and Ironshipwright waterline kits. The CG-16 is completed and now I am working on USS Belknap. I noticed some pictures shown a structure was added between the bridge and fwd missile reload housing. Is this the final config. of this ship (some photo shown the ship without this extra structure)? Your inputs are greatly appreciated.
