I have pondered for the last two days on this one Ivor; but believe that since the preponderance of variations highlighted are in fact Aerials and/or Arrays (even the CIWS mountings are integral with radar) ... that left only the hawse pipe really as an oddity in this thread.ivorthediver wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2019 4:33 pm Excellent and noteworthy post Harry , you must have been torn as to where to post this as it covers many topics both sides of the pond

The Trifecta!
#USSGravely, #USSCarney, & #USSPorter moor along side one another in Faslane, #Scotland. Gravely is underway as flagship of Standing #NATO Maritime Group 1 to conduct maritime operations & provide a continuous maritime capability for @NATO in the northern Atlantic.
--------------------------------
USS Gravely (DDG-107) Flight IIA; USS Carney (DDG-64) Flight I; USS Porter (DDG-78) Flight II; Moored alongside each other at Faslane.
That snapshot in time (above) provides an ideal opportunity to highlight observations of some of the variations/differences that are clearly apparent when viewing the image.
Anchor hawse pipe
15. USS Gravely; this ship appears to have reinforced shape on/around the stem aperature of hawse pipe on the bow, unlike those of the other two ships.

Legend
Upper port and stbd yardarms
1. USS Carney; this cylindrical shaped antenna array is not on the other two ships
2. USS Gravely; this appendage is different to those installed on the other two ships
3. USS Gravely; these planar arrays (x4) are absent from the other two ships
4. USS Gravely; this appendage is not apparent in this location on the other two ships
5. USS Gravely; this small dome differs from that on the other two ships in not being mounted atop a square box shaped appendage

Legend
Lower port and stbd yardarms
6. USS Gravely; these two arrays have a centre stub that is differently configured to those on the other two ships
7. USS Gravely; this appendage differs from those in the same location on the other two ships vis:- it has a dome attached unlike that on USS Porter (outboard ship); whilst the appendage on USS Carney is of an entirely different configuration
8. USS Carney; (see comments at 7. above)
9. USS Porter; (see comments at 7. & 8. above) the appendage differs in that it is without the domed extension attached
10. USS Porter; this appendage does not appear to be installed on the other two ships (in this position)

USS Gravely FFG-107 has form (history) Mast or Antenna - Antenna or Mast regarding broken/detatched antenna arrays ... hopefully they know that that the inverted tapered cube (truncated square pyramid) element of this array is not under the dome!!!
