[TEC] Conning towers

Thinking I'd like to create the USS Drum to reflect the real ship, Possible to place a Balao conning tower on the Gato class hull? In real life as many may know, Drum's original conning tower was replaced in early 44 after it was cracked during a severe depth charging in late 43. No Gato class towers were available, so a Balao tower was fitted, giving her a unique silhouette for a Gato class.

Thinking I'd like to do this, and using the kill flags mod add some art to the tower . Painted in the light gray dark blue scheme as she was after the refit with 5inch forward deck gun, one 40 MM forward, one 20 MM aft.

I'm still learning how to do a lot of this, anyone with knowledge, feel free to chime in.

also, trying to remove ship sunk icons, the captains log showing vessels sunk, as well as the automatic ID for vessels. Add the fog of war.How to do this?
