I was doing up SDSs for a game this weekend, and noticed the Southampton class are inconsistent regarding DCTs.HMS Sheffield and HMS Southampton only have 1 DCT.HMS Gloucester, HMS Liverpool, HMS Belfast and HMS Edinbourgh all have 2 DCTs.Is this an error, or a real difference between the original Southamptons, and the 2nd and 3rd groups?

The first two ships of the 'Town' class (Sheffield and Southampton) were completed with 1 DCT. Due to an increased budget for construction, the later ships were completed with two DCTs.
