Interesting items: (1) Aft quad 40mm gun is replaced by a small compartment with a large exhaust vent and is likely an additional radar room, (2) There is a search light forward of the aft stack.(Both of these items are not in the 6/29/49 photos from Tracy White) and (3) she still had a single pole mast but radar antennas are updated by 12/22/50.
