I'm going to be making Tamiya's USS Bogue as 'HMS Emperor' - a batch3 ship transferred to the UK as lease-lend. Photo's show that she started off in US camo scheme with a dark flight deck and two-colour camo on the hull - what colours would they be for 1943?
She had a very varied career - from North Atlantic escort to Singapore, with strikes on the Tirpitz and action in the Med. on the way!
