Wartime point defense changes the American Star Destroyer

The American concept changes from a clean prewar hull into a wartime ship crowded with close-in defenses.

Notes

The American Star Destroyer begins with the clean lines of the imagined prewar design. Once war begins, it acquires many more close-in weapons. The revised arrangement prioritizes maximum defense against fighters, extending the exercise from initial construction to wartime modification.
