http://www.hnsa.org/doc/index.htm#plans Here is a link to a website with plans for many types of USN ships. I've looked at the ones for the USS Monterey (CVL-26) and they look pretty good. The plans are in .pdf format, so you will need acrobat reader or another .pdf reader in order to view them, but for the price of free, I think you can't really go wrong.
