What happened to the "Atlanta"? Right now it's collecting dust on my old hard drive ... Since I first started the project modmaking tools have improved. It should be possible to create an "Atlanta" that's much more faithful to the real thing. However, I'm only working on merchant ships right now - particularly freighters between 3000-6000 GRT. The other day I "practiced" making a few American warships in Wings3d, but I think the emphasis should be on ships that U-Boats would have been likely to encounter. Plus, I'm still learning how to create ships that are almost perfect in terms of detail - with merchants, OTOH, their "genericness" gives you lots more leeway. After I finish up the tankers and passenger ships for my mod I may restart work on the "Atlanta" and other ships - especially if we've managed to create playable Allied submarines and need them for a Pacific campaign.
