the cranes might be an issue in construction. the locations of the 2 cranes can be derived from your picture or any profile pictures. I can get a good overhead picture, that will help in getting the width dimensions of the crane arm & tower with maybe the shape of the tower.

I would like to built USNS Croatan , a Bogue class escort carrier converted to a aircraft transport (AKV-43) - as her sisterships AKV-40 Card ex CVE-11, AKV-41 Core ex CVE-13, and AKV-42 Breton ex CVE-42.
Are plans of this conversion available? Especially showing their two large cranes?
See the cranes here on the flight deck of Croatan :
