I would think that if there was concrete further aft of where you currently show it, we would see "some" remnants of it somewhere. Would the salvage crew take the time to completely remove all evidence of concrete in that area? Look around the chock and bit or any of the other structures in that area. Not a single hint of concrete anywhere from what I can see.

I was hoping the King could help shed some light on the topic, but it appears that all he saw was what we are seeing as well.

Been working on BB-30 Florida in 700th scale using the Niko kit. A good amount of the ship is inaccurate, but the torp bulges are downright ugly. I have two copies of the kit, so one will undergo exploratory surgery to mill off the bulges. Brass barrels came in today so we'll see how they fit.

I had to track down Samek 700th North Dakota to use the hull to estimate how much material I need to remove.

The 3d printed superstructure printed by Jon Warneke is for a 1941 Utah, BUT the 3d cagemast is way more finer than the anything else I've seen. The platforms around the stack are amazing too.
