to Work done included with ship under Dockyard Control.

December New design superstructure with aircraft hangars, cranes and catapult forward.

Bridge design modernised.

Funnel arrangements changed and only two used.

Two twin 4in AA mountings and additional smaller AA guns fitted.

Air warning radar Type 279 fitted on both masts.

Fire control radar for forward main armament Type 284 and for 4in mountings Type
