Notes: There were about 60 AMCs served Royal Navay during WWII 5~6 distinguishable group of ships plus few individules.This ship also resembles those Cunard A-Class ship a lot but closely compare I am confident It is the Bay Class ship it was after.Bay Class ship features a longer forward deck area.The different from the model and the ship photo is that the forward and afterward dericks which is attached to the ventilator is removed but this could be true when the ships were converted to AMCs.

There is no indication that any fo these ships was served as hospital ship.However because of the MFM design was so common it's still under revision whether using this model as a hospital ship is approperite.
