    Thats the thing with ships. Even same class vessels differed due to refits and modifications because of theatre of operations and roles of the vessels!! I had two different Type 81 frigates, (Tribal Class). Because of the differences we had to conduct a few weeks training to familiarise ourselves.

      On merchant ships built to the same design and by the same yard, there were differences. I stood by one ship as she was being built & I knew her engine room layout intimately - I then served on her older sister later that year , and you got a weird sense of something being wrong - valves pointing in different directions, fuse boxes in different places & different light fittings. Nothing really vital, but just enough to throw you out, and make you pause for a moment
