Perhaps the simplest conversion yet: USS Monssen, a Gleaves class destroyer which is basically a Fletcher with the #3 turret replaced with additional light AA guns. Taking the WAS Fletcher, I removed the #3 turret and superstructure aft of it, also the searchlight platforms on the after funnel, being careful to leave the 20mm mounts below them. A new, single searchlight station was mounted in the previous turret location and the after mast added from nylon bristle. I also replaced the overly thick main mast with one cut from nylon bristle.
