If you can supply the lettering, we'll apply what Jeff suggests below, or if nothing else, copy and paste to what we have.
Notice the date of that ONI file, of 1943... ??  Here's the infamous and totally unreliable wikipedia version of 1934:
Oh my gosh! Lettering on the side!!! Now, what it looks like to me (uned-juh-mah-cated in the ways of 3D), is that the ship doesn't lose it's upper-forward gun turret (M04) until 1944, so the RecMan is accurate for the game, just not real life... We'll see what happens with that. Thanks.
I will be more than happy to volunteer for testing that Jeff. |
Oh...it's my fault that didn't clear it up
Yes the ONI RecManual was outgiven in 1943, but all Hatsuharu class destroyers had been already reconstructed to remove the turret B and a triple torpedo launcher but added one single-mount turret at stern in 1934, and that's what you've seen when wiki give you the picture taken in 1934 shows that the DD had been refitted.
Jeff's method seems great!
I can supply lettering, and.....perhaps something else
if I can think of it
