Perhaps you should try your public library and ask if they can get you copies of Janes Fighting Ships
covering say 1965-67.

I would like to build the Israeli destroyer Eilat (ex HMS Zealous, Z class) as in 1967.
What did she look like in 1967? She was missing the rear torpedo tube, but were there any other differences? Was the gun in the X position also absent?
I found some photos, but they were not dated.
Are there any good references? For example, a website? Or a book about the early decades of the Israeli Navy, perhaps? (also with Information about the Israeli frigates of the River class, corvettes of the Flower class, and the destroyer of the Hunt class)
