Default RE: Large Scale Plans needed

I searched the Canadian National Archive site and the Nation Archive UK site and found nothing - BUT I DID find a hit in the Australian Archives:

these pages are all text with links, but is still slow to load so be patient - here's a snippet from:

HMAS Arunta
The Tribal class destroyer HMAS Arunta was constructed at Cockatoo Island Dockyard as ship number 138. It was laid down on 15 November 1939, launched on 30 November 1940, and completed on 30 April 1942. Its length was 377 feet and displacement was 1Ê927 tons. The HMAS Arunta served in the Pacific during World War II, with the occupation forces in Japan, in the Korean War and in the Strategic Reserve in the Far East. It sank in 1969 off the coast of NSW after its sale to Taiwan for scrap metal.
