Summary of Changes

This platform should be the CS2F-3 version with a service date starting in 1969. It is missing it's AN/APN-503 which can be represented by #704 Generic Doppler Navigation/Weather radar. The AN/SSQ 47 should also be updated to AN/SSQ-28 as both the Julie and Jezebel systems were updated, the Jezebel is already updated to SSQ-2 from SSQ-1 on this platform. It is also missing a searchlight, please add #406 Generic Searchlight.

CS2F-3

The RCN developed further improvements to the Tracker, which resulted in Fairey Aviation substantially modifying fourty-five CS2F-2's to a new CS2F-3 designation.. The CS2F-3 featured a second generation AN/ASN-501 tactical navigation computer, a Marconi AN/APN-503 Doppler radar, improved Jezebel and Julie submarine detection systems and an analogue computer to automatically integrate information from the Tracker's anti-submarine sensors. This was called the Anti-Submarine Warfare Tactical Navigation System (ASWTNS) and is described in more detail elsewhere in this web document. The first CS2F-3 (#1552) conversion was completed on 18 July 1966 and the last CS2F-3 (#1555) was completed on 19 April 1968.
