Yeah... so the tender platforms were added before the 83 refit?
I have read many times that works on the refit were started before the ship actually arrived in Germany for the refit, but this is the first time I have seen anythign relating to the tender platforsm being added first, in text or photo, I was amazed.
Would love to se more photos of this odd little interim confirguarion, and to know when those platforsm were added, that photo is dated september 1983 so the ship must have sailed with tender platforms, but not magro dome for a few months, I want to know how I have never known this, or how no photos until have been found!
