@alross2Pardon the intrusion but perhaps you should consider adding some tags at the top:

I have an old'er book  The American Steel Navy  1972/1989 rep  - There are some interesting subjects in the Appendixes..

The Mariner's Museum has( or used to have ) a lot of models from the transition period from 1860 to 1914.  Most are so ugly that they are beautiful.

Back in the 1970s or early 1980s I visited the nautical museum in Astoria, Oregon, and there was a huge model of the USS Oregon. Last time I visited it wasn't there. It looked like a builder's model. I wonder what happened to it, or where it is now.
