Kudos, Laurie! That is correct!
To conceal the true ownership the later British "HMS Wivern" was being constructed as the Egyptian warship "El Monassir" and was to have been named "Mississippi" upon delivery to the Confederates, and the "El Tousson" was to have been named North Carolina but was named "HMS Scorpion" under British flag.

Laurie, you win an exciting Nile cruise:
