for the LCVP you mean? I can say you those are correct as good as they get, I have checked with builders plans and pictures. for pictures of the entire ship I don't have more then google has, so you should be able to obtain those yourself

those on Google; i have,
the LCVP i have

but you seems to be so sure that these are the initial load, that i think you have the references of it

the evidence is this:
LCVP Mk 5: first 7 in use since 1996
HMS Ocean: commissioned in 1998

because of this, it is very unlikely they have equipped the Mk 4 or older types on board
not impossible, but the fact that they are launched by specialised davids, and the Mk 4 type is being replaced by the Mk 5, makes it very unlikely that the davids were constructed so that they could handle the Mk 4 as well, especially since the Mk 5 is quite a bit larger.

note also that these 7 were excluselively for the use of the HMS ocean, since the other 2 ships that carry them, the albion class, were not commissioned before the next batch of these landing craft were delivered.

(also note that it is impossible to give photograpic evidence an ship did NOT carry an type of landing craft, only if they actually did )

never said that;
again your wording is agressive

aggressive? no. factual? yes.
just giving you the reasoning why I almost certainly know that the Mk 5 was on board this ship and never any other type.

STEP BY STEP





Be indulgent, It is not finished, plan view is not yet coherent with the side view (and inversely )

Mosquito I took these this afternoon.they are pretty high res should help you fill in some blanks.Shame about the thumb on the second one.I couldn't get any closer to the starboard side cos of the bloody building side.

I now expect those LCVP bays fully detailed xD thanks bombhead!

Thanks for the photographic reference, Bombhead
it will certainly be useful when i come back to this drawing.

any further updates?
