Mauritania/Lyra class AC's
I finally found some time to draw out the Lyra class AC's and their refits.
Were they refitted or rebuild? The reduction of funnels seem to indicate a reduction in boilers....
Otherwise they look good.
Yes, rebuilt would be the correct term. They were mixed fired, the coal fired boilers being removed and speed reduced to 18 knots to conform to the training ship designation.
Another great drawing Wes!
I think it looks like a good rebuild given the constraints of the older layout.
