The links provided are for Yorktown CV-10 and Hornet CV-12.

Plowshares project concerns the earlier carriers Yorktown CV-5 and Hornet CV-8.

The Fighting Lady, although a great bit of film in its own right, is also about CV-10 not CV-5.

Enterprise CV-6 had pretty much a complete change in AA armament in 1943.
I believe that the limiting factor in how much could be added was increase in top weight and hence reduced stability. The addition of anti-torpedo bulges to CV-6 also enhanced stability but in this case the beam was limited by the width of the Panama Canal locks.

The first book has absolutely the best shots of all three ships I've seen to date; the overhead shots particularly will be most helpful. Thank you!
