	Royal Navy Cruisers Part 4
		The first RN Cruisers built within the confines of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922, limiting standard displacement for heavy (8-inch gun) cruisers to 10,000 tons.

		Shortly after entering service, Tiger and Blake were converted to ASW Helicopter Cruisers embarking 4 Sea King or Wessex anti-submarine helicopters, with the aft 6-inch twin turret replaced by a hanger and flight deck and the two amidships 3-inch twin turrets replaced by Seacat point defense SAMs.
