HMHS Britannic

[TISO]

I'm planning to build (a future project) all 3 ocean liners of Olympic class RMS Olympic (in grat war dazzle camo), RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic (sunk after hitting a mine).
Olympic had some notable differences in construction of A (Olympic open Titanic enclosed) and B decks (different spacings of windows)

This are the moddeling questions.
What were external differences between this boat and her sister ship Titanic?
Does anyone have detail plans of davids for life boats on the upper hull of Britannic?

There are often changes made to a ship design after the first one enters service; that's when you start learning which ideas work and which ones don't, so the designers change what doesn't. This tends to ensure that even sister ships of the same class are different from one another in some way or another. AFAIK, the boat davits on the three ships were of an identical type, since there were no complaints about them that I know of. Britannic, of course, had watertight doors installed on all of her decks during construction, after Titanic sank; Olympic had them retrofitted.

olympic had water tight doors but they forgot to close them apparently .

The Olympic made it to the scrappers after a long career.

One reason why BRITANNIC sank so quickly was that all of her portholes were open; she was being aired out in preparation for receiving another load of wounded. Still, it does appear possible that damage control wasn't as good as it might have been.
