Yes, she was (particularly after the 1931 refit).

Thanks for posting.

Status: offline 		These pics reveal the Arizona had already taken on the Kingfisher spotter planes. The old Revell model still carried the older biplane models....Also notice the rear gun ring clearly shown inside the greenhouse on the Kingfisher..Great shots!!

Lattice masts are ugly... real eyesores

I don't know how great was the benefit of changing to tripod masts in terms of reduced vibration or being capable of heavier rangefinder equipment

but the "looks" by itself justified it completely

They definitely signify that the ship is a USN one.

I want to model a cage-masted ship.  Usually done with photo-etch, but one company has a nice 3D printed one which captures the taper nicely.

Yep, but when all is said and done ... It's ugly ... no it's not just ugly ... it's utterly butt ugly. Looks like a hamster cage. Wouldn't put a cat in one of them, much less go to sea in it. Whoever thought that one up probably failed finger painting in grade school.

I think this is the final word here. Ugly as a toad sitting on a fence post....
