The flags are painted on. The colours are shown on the navsource link above. It is the 4 letter call sign of the ship.
The e on the radar is white.
Not sure about #4, will see if I can find any better pics.

It does look like a ship silhouette, but it's not there for very long.

Can anybody point me to a "map" of the radomes/antennas added during the late 90s - early 2000s?

I served on Cowpens from 1995-99, as a GSM, but was familiar with what we had up to that point.

Specifically, there are at least two radomes installed on the aft stack that I can't find references on.

Thanks

Seeking dimensions of the stern flap ("beaver tail").

Thanks in advance!

Were there major superstructure differences between the first 5 Ticonderogas (Baseline 0 and 1) eg the twin arm launcher versions and the later ones (Baseline 2-4) eg the VLS equipped ones?
Like the VLS version superstructure moved forward and or taller?

I only have these two drawings of the Ticonderogas (The blue one have some errors around the middle section I found out)
Twin arm launcher armed Ticonderogas:

One conspicuous difference comes to mind and that is the first two ships of the class, Ticonderoga and Yorktown, had a quadruped main mast. The rest of the class had a tripod main mast.

One other difference that immediately comes to mind for me is there was a platform/walkway extension on the starboard side of the aft stack area that allows travel around the outboard intake. The change is present in, for example, Dragon's 1/350 Ticonderoga vs. Mobile Bay kits. Bunker Hill has this extension, but the kits boxed as "Bunker Hill" do not have this extended platform.

I've included that platform.
Here is my drawing (Only top view because it was asked this way) showing Ticonderoga in her finished form.

Hi Steve, better a late answer than no answer at all!
I eyeballed the CG 73 stern flap from the photos and made it in 1:350 scale: it's 28.7mm long (athwartships), 6.8mm wide (fore-aft) and 2.5mm deep. Its lower surface is in line with the ship's bottom.

Included here a picture of it: I believe it seems to be pretty close to the real thing.

And even better: I found a report giving the actual dimensions of the stern flap used experimentally on Arthur W. Radford (DDG 968) which must be very similar to the one used on CG 73. Span 34 ft and chord 5.3 feet. And the lower surface should not be in line with the ship's bottom, but canted a few degrees downward.
