  Crown Colony class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Crown Colony-class light cruisers of the Royal Navy were named after Crown Colonies of the British Empire.
Due to the size of the Crown Colony class, a number of the ships had to have one of their main turrets removed to allow 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns to be added.
All ships of the Crown Colony-class were decommissioned from the Royal Navy by the late 1960s, though none of them were the last cruisers of the Royal Navy.
