At first I was excited and then when I saw the first Picture I started to giggle and said “its just another Perth”, Who knows it might even get the same special smoke as Perth.
Seems that the name is not correct?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Aurora_(12)
“The empty hulk spent the rest of her life as an accommodation and warehouse ship, being subsequently renamed Yellow River (Huang He) in 1959”
This looks like it’s going to be a beast of an AA ship. Those dual 100mm guns look like the same as the ones on Kutuzov, Chapayev and Donskoi.
