Yes, very well done George. Never thought of going that far back!

GC ran her trials on the 3rd March 1921 but was not completed until November 1921 so she would have been on the River in a completed state between March and November 1921.

So the other Hull could be MOSELLA which was launced on the 3rd September 1921.
