I had the same issue looking for detailed pics for my 1/800 TR. The black netting follows the framing of the escape trunk. I just used a flat piece of brass from an etched parts set, cut it and bent it to shape. Then I put the square pieces for the blast shield area.
Found these- they might help get a more correct look for -65:

Edit - **found what i needed!



I’ve got a pretty unique opportunity with my latest build. I’m lifting the flight deck 4” off the hull with a set of linear motors. As a result the bow area will be visible. Since the anchor hause holes are just above the deck on the Trumpeter 1/350 KittyHawk i thought i’d add some interest to this area and model the focsle.
I found a few pics on that same sight. Hoping someone has some cleaner shots that really show the layout.
Here’s what i have to start with

Hi guys, I have on my todo list this beautiful aircraftcarrier.
Can anyone suggest to me a book for some references?

Thanks a lot.

"USS Enterprise in Detail and Scale" may be very helpful. Link: https://www.amazon.com/The-USS-Enterprise/dp/B004BU80AW

You may have to shop around for the best price.

Thanks! Very useful!

If you wish to develop your upper body musculature, you might take on Dave McKay's USS Enterprise, CVA(N)/CVA-65: The World's First Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier. It runs to almost 700 pages, is lavishly illustrated, and weighs in at a little under six pounds (2.75 kilos).

I’d go for Ray Beans photo CD’s. I forget who sells them now, someone here might know. They are far more informative than the books.

Does anybody have dimensions data or even sketches/drawings of the SLQ-17 ECM system installed on the Enterprise in the late 1970's?
