	C class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The C-class were light cruisers of the Royal Navy, and were built in a number of sub-classes known as the Caroline (six ships), Cambrian (six ships), Centaur (two ships), Caledon (four ships), Ceres (five ships) and Carlisle (five ships) classes.
		In the mid-1930s it was decided to modernize and refit the C class cruisers for anti-aircraft work.
		The aim was to convert all 13 cruisers of the late C-classes, the Caledons, Ceress and Carlisles.

	List of cruiser classes of the Royal Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The third class cruiser was not expected to operate with the fleet, was substantially smaller than the second class and lacked the watertight double-bottom of the latter.
		The Arethusa class were the first oil-only fired class which meant that the cruiser could no longer rely on the arrangement of coal bunkers in the hull as protection and adopted destroyer machinery for a higher top speed, making them the first true light cruisers.
		The heavy cruiser was defined in the London Naval Treaty of 1930 as a cruiser with a main gun calibre not exceeding 8 inches.

		In 1939 Ceres recommissioned from the Reserve Fleet and was sent on Northern Patrol in the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland.
		In February 1941 Ceres blockaded Kisimayu in support of the offensive against Italian Somaliland, in company with the British cruisers HMS Hawkins and HMS Capetown and the British destroyer HMS Kandahar.
		Ceres spent two months in the Persian Gulf, and then arrived at Simonstown for a three month refit, where she was dry-docked.

		It was an amazing, quick procession, from being ordered under an Emergency Plan in April 1916, due to WWI, then to being laid down in July 1916, to the culmination of her being launched in April 1917.
		She was a Ceres Class light cruiser, of 4,100 tonnes and an armament of just 5 x 6-inch guns.
		She was commissioned in 1917, becoming flagship of the 6th Light Cruiser Squadron, part of the Grand Fleet in July 1917.

	The Website Located at TomStockton.us - Ships - CERES CL 1917
		Notes: The CERES class was the next in line from the CENTAUR and CALEDON classes; the main battery was re-arranged (with "B" mount now superimposed over "A" mount) and a longer forecastle, thus giving both more firepower available over wider arcs of fire and decreased "wetness" of forward guns in a seaway, thus improving firing.
		CERES joined 6th Light Cruiser Squadron in June, 1917; she saw service in the Baltic November, 1918 - early 1919, then was transferred to Mediterranean.
		CERES was damaged in a collision with the U. destroyer FOX in the entrance to the Bosphorus in April, 1923.

		The theory was that the six-inch guns were to be used defensively to ward off German cruisers and the quicker firing four-inch battery to be used offensively to engage German destroyers.
		The bow retained the same flare as the earlier classes except once the bow hull height reached 23-feet 6-inches, the bow went straight up, rather than to continue to flare outward.

		First version of the C, designed to operate in the North Sea against their German counterparts during World War I. The were "wet" because of their flush deck but their main drawback during World War II was their unprotected deck, which made them very vulnerable to aircraft attacks.
		Only the Caradoc was rebuilt as an anti-aircraft cruiser in 1942-43 and could play a frontline role.
		It was moved in front of the central castle on the follwing Ceres.

	"Danae" Class Light Cruisers
		As before the hull was lengthened by 22 feet to enable an extra 6in gun to be fitted in between the foremast and the fore funnel, although this was a dubious gain as it could only fire on the broadsides and had no aft or forward arcs of fire.
		Considerable internal changes were also made and the increased top weight from the higher bridge and the additional gun, resulted in the beam being increased by 2ft 9in and the displacement by 430 tons.
		She was the first one of the class to see war service.

		Development of the Ceres initially proceeded quite rapidly, and was further accelerated by the start of the Romulan War, when it was hoped that the technology transferred as part of the project could be applied in support of the war effort.
		As with Ceres, Daedalus was to be a joint Allied design, although it was hoped that lessons learnt from the war and from the advances made on the Ceres project would allow a more compact but deeper range starship.
		Vessels of this class contributed greatly to exploration, defence and diplomatic missions for a period of nearly 50 years before the last was retired.

		Ceres Class Cruiser - HMS Ceres, Cardiff, Coventry, Curacoa, Curlew
		A significant improvement on the previous classes of 'C' cruisers with the bridge moved further aft and one of the 6 inch guns moved into a forward super-firing position giving improved arcs of fire.
		All five survived World War 1 and went on to serve in World War 2 during which three of the class were sunk.

		Life support and energy were no problem, as the space forces had fusion reactors with decades of life in them, and materials to feed and replenish the life support systems of their craft and to repair the ships were all around them.
		The names of the cities are Brussels North and South, and New York North and South, North referring to the cities that lie at the cap closest to the surface of Ceres, and South referring to the cities closest to the center of Ceres.
		Throughout the entire history of the Ceres colony they have always obtained the fuel for their fusion engines from the Jupiter Fuel Refinery, even when this place had been virtually forgotten by the rest of the Orbitals.

	HMS Carlisle
		The finest light cruisers of their day, the Ceres class ordered in March 1916 were a great advance on the earlier Cs.
		Bow fire was thereby doubled, and with the weight of the bridge further aft, Ceres was less prone to bury her bows in a head sea.
		The Capetowns, ordered in June-July 1917 were identical to the Ceres except for their so-called 'trawler bow', a marked sheer forward which reduced spray and wetness.

		The Earth Cruisers were moving into orbit around the planet, as they could then be reached by the short-ranged shuttlecraft used for refuelling and re-supply when a starbase was not present.
		Two of the cruisers shook from the blasts, the third disintegrated under the four energy blasts that struck it.

	The Starfleet Museum - Lancaster Class
		Therefore, a new class of cruisers was required to fulfill this mandate of safeguarding the lives and property of Federation citizens wherever they might be endangered.
		Almost immediately, the new class was hailed by both civilian and military analysts as a significant advance in starship engineering.
		LANCASTER ships displaced twice as much as the preceding MOSKVA class (67 kt vs 145 kt) and were substantially larger than most opposing vessels of that time (Exceptions were the large but technologically primitive Klingon cruisers of the D3 and D4 classes, which displaced 215,000 and 290,000 t, respectively).

		Armaments originally projected for this class were (a) mixed battery of 9.2 inch and 6 inch, (b) 14 - 6 inch.
		They were planned to meet possible improvements in German Light Cruiser types, and also for hunting enemy commerce raiders in the Atlantic - hence their big fuel capacities.
		One unit of this class, Cavendish (Harland and Wolff), was accelerated in building, and completed as the Aircraft Carrier Vindictive (q.v.).

	Constellation Class
		Several of this class still remain today, mainly serving as training vessels, as those in service are largely obsolete.
		But the known registries of this class seem to be all over the place, ranging from 1*, up to 9*, so it's possible these were constructed at various intervals over a number of years.
		The listed specifications for ship classes are partly hypothetical, but some data such as ship lengths, weapon stats and crew complements are in some cases canon.

		These guns gave the class the greatest fire-power of any cruiser the Royal Navy had ever built, with the water cooled 6-inch and 3-inch guns capable of firing 20 and 90 rounds per minute per gun respectively (although this rate of fire would empty the magazines in a few minutes).
		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 defence SAMs.
		Blake was the last cruiser in the Royal Navy and in December 1979 ended a 100 year tradition of RN Cruisers.
