Silent Hunter 4 - Refurbished USS Wasp

Some of the original SH4 models are really good looking, but have some issues than can be easily solved. The generic US aircraft carrier in the game is one of the ships I took to the dockyard in order to make her look closer to the real ship (USS Wasp).

Usually I would have left it alone, since US ships are just eye-candy in the original game, but USS Wasp can be quite useful for a German career in the Atlantic or Mediterranean with Operation Monsoon or Dark Waters so I think it deserved this treatment.

Some of the changes I did:

-Added the Radar antenna (courtesy of WoWs).
-Added 5in guns and 28mm quad mounts from WoWs.
-Added 5in guns fire directors, available in the original game libraries.
-Added full complement of 20mm guns with associated directors.
-Moved the forward lift to the position next to the island in the real ship.
-Widened the sponsons so the 5in guns could fit in.
-Reworked the tripod mast.
-Added a static set of US Navy planes from WoWs.
