This addresses something I think should be corrected in the Card Printing Tool. There are only a few differences, but I feel that it is significant enough to put this up....These stats are just for the London herself only. I have added 1 to the AV post reconstruction (added belt armour), and retained X turret – The London and Shropshire kept X turret until scrapping.
