Heres some more screenshots. I was going to make this a poll, instead, ill just ask readers to post either Porpoise, or Sargo.

-----------------------------------------
PORPOISE AS A MODEL:
Pros:
- conning tower shears more accurate
- seems about a foot or two wider
- torpedo layout historically correct for narwhal

Cons:
- A couple feet shorter in length then Sargo
- No ammunition stores modeled in late war tower
- No netguard


Porpoise early war with duel guns:


Porpoise Late war with duel guns:


-----------------------------------
SARGO AS MODEL:
Pros:
- A couple feet longer in length
- aft main deck features make it look a bit more distinctive
- external shell storage modled on late war tower
- has netguard, which the Narwhal also had

Cons:
- Torpedo tube layout, historically incorrect (2 extra aft tubes that need to go bye bye)
- Periscope shears, i think are a bit taller then the narwhales

Early war Sargo with duel guns:


Late war Sargo with duel guns:



Lastley, a two close ups of both side by side.
