I have a booklet of general plans-the ones of the Floating Drydock are copies of mine which I in turn received from Robert Summrall.
I could see what I can do to have them on a CD along with Images taken during refits in the States after war damage.
If you just need the photos give me an E-Mail address and I will upload them free.
NavSource(cruisers) has some of them but in LOWres!
