Notes
Inthetableswhich form part of each ship decription, all dimensions, also deadweight and displacement tonnages, are metric, unless otherwise stated. Machinery
powershave been specified as 'Bhp' or 'kW' in accordance with information received from the shipbuilder. Emergency alternators are not included in the number
of alternators.Where a dash (-) has been included against an item, this generally denotes lack of information, but where it is known that features have not been
included,this is indicated by 'nil'. The number of sister ships completed or on order does not include the Ship presented. Some ships shown as 'on order' may
