I model 1989-91, but who doesn't love an Essex class in 1/350th scale?
This is what happens when you buy a Tamiya CVN65 for spare parts combined with Trumpeters USS Hancock. It will get a flight control station where the 40mm mount was between the island and turret #3s previous location. The stern will have a centerline CIWS mounted (you can see the mount in the pics). It's got a single Sea Sparrow launcher, and a port and starboard director for it. Forward elevator is de-activated, port hanger door enlarged......
Yes, I realize the forward CIWS is gonna be wet
