Looking good, Jim. The crane is a nice touch - did the real item retract down to be flush with the deck when not needed? If so, then it must have been mounted outside the pressure hull, sort of like the periscopes - though it would not have to absorb the lateral pressure of moving water in an extended position.

Funny how the details make you more fully appreciate the engineering of the original.
