		The major differences are that Bluebell has a circular Radar lantern not the octagonal one fitted in Snowberry,the 4" Gun shield is the one with the rounded top not the square one and,I think,the depth charge layout.Bluebell has 2 throwers a side, 2 racks at the stern plus a reload rack either side.
