Take more than lick of paint to fix that scratch!

Wasn't Grenville in the Dartmouth Training Squadron in '72?

When compared with the photo of the damaged Grenville it can be seen that Grenville's aluminium upper hull largely collapsed where Jaguar's steel bow cut into her, however the lower hull of existing steel took the impact and caused significant damage to Jaguar's welded steel lower bow.
Although the type 15's were good looking, fast ships i suspect their ability to absorb damage would be limited.
