If anyone has any information of how the Melbourn would have looked then I'd be most grateful. http://img7.hostingpics.net/pics/695569HMAS_Melbourne_ex_HMS_Majestic.jpg http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6206/melbourne1969ym1.jpg and http://www.flickr.com/photos/41311545@N05/4931488335/in/photostream...
For torpedo-nets I couldn't find any mention of them, in any of the drawings I have. As for light AA-guns I still have to find where they were designed to be along with the saluting guns Novice, For the light guns onboard "Lyon's", few data: Conway's indicate " 40mmAA or 47mm AA, 6 TT sub " = maybe...
Few comments :
- Any torpedoes-nets expected ?
- Any few light AA-guns expected ? (the 1st on a major french ship ?). The "Lyon's" is designed by late 1913/1914.
- Any "saluting-gun" expected ?
Forget a "automatic" MG WELL forward near the bow...
Simply because by heavy sea (even sea storm), a automatic MG (with MANY electronic/fragile sensors) were very vulnerable to big wave...
