Here are some shots of the USS Fletcher 1/350 I did a couple of years ago. Done as she would have appeared about August of 1943 just before entering the yards for a big refit that would see four more twin 40 mm guns installed and of course the latest in radar and electronics installed.

They had "deck blue" a dark flat blue color -- for some reason my camera was insistent on making that color "brighter" than it actually is on the model.
