These ships are modified Colony class – the stats aren't in the tables. I have ended up combining some of the Fiji and Town class stats (after arriving at pretty much the same values independently), the differences being increased tonnage (1 Hull Point), and an improved AA value.....These should be the revised stats for HMS Ceylon – she never had X turret (HMS Gambia should be in her place on the Card Printing Tool).
As always, constructive input is welcomed...
