  1.  @vikkimcdonough6153  wrt your fist question, providing a hangar for the floatplane. You can get a good idea what it would look like, by looking at a Fletcher that had the FRAM modernization, which had a hangar for the DASH ASW helo, as well as the flight deck. The hanger for an OS2U would be a lot longer than the DASH hangar as the plane is over 33 feet long, vs a length of 13 feet for the DASH helo.. In addition to losing the second torpedo mount, and #3 5" mount, she would also lose the #4 5" mount. That may still leave the cat overhanging the #5 5" mount. Someone with drafting skills may care to do a layout of a FRAM Fletcher, with a hanger twenty feet longer, to see where the cat ends up, and whether it interferes with #5 5"'s arc of fire.
