"Does the name appear on the bow on those pictures taken shortly after launch?"
Paul, I will get to that tomorrow.
Bob, I believe like you said - the name went on before launch.
What's interesting is that fig 2 shows the letters positioned differently when she left Southampton - and viewing the dive footage again that at least one letter and possibly 3 are missing.
I believe before she left Belfast they had a second bite of the cherry regarding the port side name plate. This brings me back to sectionalized (letter grouping) plates
