The Takom/Snowman 1/700 scale GEARING Class model out-of-the-box is a basic Fleet Destroyer configuration as the first units were completed. Starting in April 1945 (not every unit got this upgrade that soon) the GEARINGS replaced the aft torpedo tubes bank with a quad 40-mm mount as part of the Anti-Kamikaze Program. Snowman/Takom issued this kit as USS FRANK KNOX (DD-742) with a dry-dock built at Boston Navy Yard and USS SOUTHERLAND (DD-743), but only have the decals for DD-743. Both of these destroyers were converted to DDR configuration after shakedown at Boston Navy Yard (BosNY). The DDR configuration initially replaced the forward torpedo tube mount with a tripod mast for a radar antenna. When the Anti-Kamikaze program upgrade was applied to the DDR and Fleet destroyers, the aft torpedo tube mount was replaced with a quad 40-mm mount. The Takom kit DOES NOT include parts for the DDR conversion or the Anti-Kamikaze AA upgrade.
About the only versions of GEARINGS this kit can be built to out-of-the-box, are the early units prior to the Anti-Kamikaze mod or DDR conversion. Many early units were completed by their builder in the original configuration as see in this kit. But, before going to the Pacific and operational use, they had the Anti-Kamikaze mod upgrade done whether a Fleet Destroyer or a DDR, except for two DDR's that went to the war zone while retaining the aft torpedo tubes.
Your main interest unit, USS EVERTT F. LARSON (DD-830) was built by Bath Iron Works (BIW) and was delivered to the USN at BosNY and commissioned in the original configuration. (She was the 14th GEARING class unit commissioned) I have notes on the Anti-Kamikaze program upgrades for this class, but can't lay my hands on them right now. But, I'm pretty sure given the date she was commissioned, USS EVERTT F. LARSON likely went on a shakedown cruise and upon her return went into BosNY for conversion to a DDR. From photos ...

The USS GOODRICH (DD-831), a sister of EVERETT F. LARSON built at BIW right after her (she was the 16th GEARING commissioned). Like her BIW sister, she was delivered in the original configuration and was also painted in Ms 21. ...

If you would register to this website, you would be able to see images of these two that I could post if they would be of help.
