Swan Hunter LPH design?

Has anybody got a picture of Swan Hunters proposed design for the LPH contract that led to HMS Ocean (won by VSEL with a variant of the Invincible class)?

Jane’s published information on a Swan Hunter LPH back in the early 90s. As I recollect, it displaced 17,000 tons, with a length of 190 meter and a beam of 34 meters. It a basically looked like a militarized derivative of a commercial ro-ro, with an island placed far aft, and loading ramps at the stern and starboard.
