Redav, thanks for letting me know. I've just cross-checked my sources and it turned out that you are right about the Hedgehog. I will try to fix the drawing ASAP.

IIRC these ships were completed with two quad 14.7" Bofors ASW rocket launchers in B position.

It was a modernization plan that never got implemented.
A good idea for a never-built variant though. Thanks, Novice.

Hi WhyMe

Do you intend to make the Afonso de Albuquerque in her final configuration, how she was during the 1961 invasion of Goa?

Oh, yeah, I do plan to draw both ships in this class (and a couple of other classes) in different configurations. I can't promise I'll get to it any time soon unfortunately.

NRP Pedro Nunes in 1963 as a hydrographic ship:

Pleasure to look at.

Great work as usual. It's good to see these lesser-known ships too.
