While we're at it, does anyone have some good high res pictures of her davits and 3"/50 directors? Closeups of the bridge and superstructure would be nice as well. |

Thank you. If any of you got anything, don't be shy to post it. I've been reading up on amphibs lately so I'll take anything you've got. Btw, can anyone identify the exact type of small craft they're carrying? |

According to Wiki: 3 LCVPs and 1 Captain's Gig.From the looks of them on the sideview provided by Graham I'd say those are 36' LCVPs and 36' LCPLs (on top). I've actually drawn both of these some time ago but never published here on the forums. Here they are: ![[ img ]](http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j444/WhyMe-PB/Temp/LC.png)

These look more like Mk.51 directors, or maybe Mk.52 (looked much like the Mk.51 but had a smaal range-only radar Mk.26).These diredtors were used extensivly during WW2, and after the war. |
