Somehow I'm a little bit disorientated and don't have the Raven/Roberts at hand right now, but perhaps someone can help me out here:

Are there significant differences between HMS Swiftsure and HMS Superb (apart from different AA and electronics fit)?

I don't know if you are talking visible or structural differences, but there were a few. Swiftsure was 63' wide, and Superb was 64'. Swiftsure had MK-IV AA directors, while Superb had MK-VI. There were differences in the barrage directors forward of the bridge, too. That is all I can come up with off the top of my head, though.

Thanks for the info - I'm mainly interested in visible differences, whether there are major differences in the superstructure.
