Bought the USS Hornet kit and the USS Minneapolis kit (used as a replacement for the USS Vincennes) for this diorama. Great kits. Love them both. Bought PE rails, sailors, and propellers which I think were pretty much essential.

Used a cheap picture frame from Walmart for the base. Used some "Royal Talens Amsterdam Heavy Gel Medium" on the glass with a brush to make waves, painted it white, and then progressively added layers of Tamiya Sea Blue and Clear Blue till. Then I nuked the base with Pledge Floor Gloss.
