What does this mean?

[edit]

"Aurora completed without aircraft facilities, and had a deckhouse for accommodation in lieu for service as Commodore."

Specifically:

  • "Aurora completed" completed what? "completed" is a transitive verb.
  • "without aircraft facilities" The previous sentence is about lacking a second aircraft, so is this sentence about the first aircraft or the second?
  • "accommodation in lieu" in lieu of what? Or is that phrase naval jargon we're expected to recognize?
  • "for service as Commodore" A good guess is that the deckhouse is to be used only if a commodore is aboard, but that would be service for a commodore (the deckhouse isn't a commodore).
