Another excellent addition. I'm glad you've been able to decipher the conflicting sources.

Thanks for your comments - I'm still not happy with it, that rear end round the catapult still looks slightly wrong to me. I might try some different boats and see how it looks.

This is HMS Emerald post 1943 refit.

I have changed one essential item for both the 1936 and 1943 Emeralds, the crane. It is a completely different version to that used on Enterprise. Both drawings are updated with the new one.

There are quite a few differences now between the ships. The amount of the shelter deck that is plated in is different in both. The midship 6" in Emerald retains the bulwark while Enterprise loses its one. Different arrangements around the catapult with Emerald having a liferaft grouping.

As always the help I get is greatly appreciated, and all the mistakes are mine.
