This ship did not carry aircraft - so the air group of 1 Walrus in RHS should be landed in games (and deleted by me from the database).
Better still - in games transfer the Walrus to HMAS Australia.

She DID have 2 DC racks from 1939 - and added 4 DCT from 1943.

She ALSO had 12 AAMG from 1939 - and never lost them - but picked up 6 20 mm in 1942.

RAN official history.

In other words, this class should have 2 updates, 1 in 1942 and 1 in 1943. And she is an ASW ship.

In RHS scenarios air group slot 1530 should be assigned to HMAS Australia = ship slot 3246.
