I am curious to know if there is a place where one can buy plans for building a model of a steel-hull US Navy ship. I am particularly interested in the USS Arcadia, a Destroyer Tender that I served on for a few years, starting on July 1, 1964. The Arcadia has been decomisioned. It's too early for me to dive into a new project, but never too early to think about it.
Info & opinions are welcome.
Happy Modeling.

seems, that there are sources of original drawings

I found f.e. appr. 15 drawings of the USS Prairie (AD15) - also a destroyer tender, but different class

I could not find there your ship, but maybe you can find it in the web-page or you could contact the owner of the web-page - I am pretty sure, that they will help and assist or can give further hints
 
Thank you very much. Uwe.
I have a similar document about the Arcadia, but it doesn't have as much details as the copy that you found. I am grateful for your kind assistance.
I served twice on the Arcadia; 1st time was from July 1 thru Dec, 1964 when I first went on active duty. Then, after 2 schools in electronics, I was assigned back on the Arcadia for a 4 year stent in their Calibration Lab. but, after about 2years on Arcadia, it was decomisioned and I was sent to basic electronics school as an instructor.
