Yes this light carrier was speciel in many ways, but it's a marvellous drawing Bombhead had done :D

I'll check Friedman's British Carriers book, I'm sure it has some underwater details on Unicorn.

Excellent work Bombhead. BTW IIRC the "K" was for HMAS Sydney during the Korean war.

Yes the rudder should be bigger on Unicorn, by my estimations from the plan in Friedman about 10 pixels longer and about 2-3 pixels lower. The plan shows a sharper line from the keel up to the propellers but it has no propeller details at all.

This might help, the Sea Otter is at the far right but you might need to improve a tweak it a bit.
