DD 577 can be based on the Tamiya Fletcher, DD 825 on the upcoming Dragon Gearing. With a lot of scratchbuilding. No such luck for the other two.

OK thanks Red. I know DD-864 is a Gearing Class & the Carpenter (DD-825) Is a modified Gearing. The Sproston is a Fletcher.

Not sure on AO-146. Need to research her
