phil gollin an earlier commenter provided me accurate documents (photos of admirality papers) that contains all data on this designs from GW.1 to GW.80 in table format.

I do have Friedman's book and he made a mistake in some designs which carry the 5,25inch gun, in reality those designs would had carried the 5" Mark N2 (or N1) gun

I've been told not give forward these documents so I only show you these two designs:


Legends:


According to these documents the 1 3/4 stage armed designs were:

GW.59

GW.61-63

GW.70-78 including 78A/B/C

and GW.81 or maybe GW.80 and GW.79


GW.59,61,62,63 had 8x1 launchers with 28/32/32/32 missiles accordingly though the document only states R.F in brackets for the missile storage so I'm 100% sure these are that kind of missiles


For the 70 series the missiles stated were the Bristol 1 3/4th

70,71 had 6 single launchers 24/54 missiles respectively

72,73 had 5 single launchers 2 forward 3 aft, 41/81 missiles respectively

74,75 had 4 single launchers 2 forward 2 aft, 52 missiles both

76 had either 1 single or 1 twin (I'm not sure) launcher, 17 missiles

77,78A had 4 single launchers 2 forward 2 aft, 48/40 missiles respectively

78B had 2 single aft launchers, 20 missiles

78C had 4 single launchers 2 forward 2 aft, 100 missiles


For GW.80 nothing is written only that it would carry 2 single launchers, 40.000shp 2 shafts, 692ft long and 93ft wide
