Which part of it - the hull or the bridge?

<g> Well, if you believe the OUDF themselves they don't have any 
dreadnoughts... <g> From the OUDF FA background blurb:

"Like the Auckland-class carriers the Jervis Bay-class fleet auxiliaries 
were too big for the Oceanic Union's own military spaceyards to build, so 
instead they were built to BORON specs by the major civilian yards at 
Proxima Centauris. Many intelligence analysts initially believed them to be 
small dreadnoughts [...]

The speculations about OUDF dreadnoughts were not entirely unfounded. At 
the time the Jervis Bay was designed the OUDF BuShips did draw up specs for 
a heavy battleship with the same general hull configuration as a Jervis 
Bays but with fewer module wells and more powerful engines and defences, 
and rumour has it that the existing Jervis Bay class ships are prepared to 
be refitted into this configuration should the need for such heavy combat 
units arise ? or, according to more cynical commentators, should the OUDF's 
budget ever allow it!"

In other words, the external differences between a Jervis Bay-class FA and 
a Brisbane-class DN - IF one exists at all, that is ;-) - are too small to 
be visible on the Full Thrust model scale :-)
