hi everyone!
The United States Navy has only the Somers-class as pre-war destroyer in Silent Hunter 3. But this class was a very small class of only 5 ships and in our game, it is the mainstay of the US Fleet-Destroyer-force. So i decided to mod at least one, if not two new classes of US-Destroyers.
There were 3 larger classes build from 1936 and commissioned since 1939:
The Mahan-class (1936), 18 ships

The Gleaves-class (1938), 66 ships
http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/423.htm
and the Benson-class (1939), 96 ships
http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/421.htm
Before getting started, i need not only photographs but also line-drawings / ship-plans. It would be great, if anyone can post them here. Thanks in advance. :)
