	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.

	Australian Devonshire class Nuclear Missile Cruiser
		The fate of many of the Devonshire class cruisers are unknown but were strongly constructed and could have survive the coming of the Rifts.
		The fusion plant is identical to the Perth class carrier but due to the slimmer hull form and shallower draft, the top speed of the cruiser is almost four knots faster than the carrier.
		The amount of hanger space on the Fox class destroyers which Australia was purchasing was considered to provide plenty of hanger space and the Devonshire class cruiser only has a one position hanger.

		SMS Pommern was one of the Deutschland class of pre-Dreadnought battleships built for the Kaiserliche Marine between 1904 and 1906.
		The ships of her class were already outdated by the time they entered the service, being inferior in size, armor, fire power and speed to the new post-Dreadnaught battleships.
		When Arethusa turned away, the German cruisers did not pursue her, which saved them from running into Vice Admiral Beatty's battlecruisers that were bearing down upon the battle site and soon afterwards sank the German light cruisers SMS Cöln, SMS Mainz and SMS Ariadne and the torpeoboat V 187.

	HMS TimberWolf - Wolverine specs
		While the new classes of battleships, fighters, and large carriers were the darlings of the public and the press, the real development was going on elsewhere.
		Even with the extraordinary combination of Destroyers (mostly of the very successful Atocia class) and Cruisers, fleet still needed a ship that combined the firepower of a heavy cruiser with the speed and rapid deployment capability of a destroyer.
		The addition of a sensor and weapons suite comparable to a Battle Cruiser meant these ships were almost as expensive to build as their larger brethren.

	Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser / Raider) - Atlantis
		The next morning a steam pipe on the funnel, damaged during the attack was repaired, a prize crew put on board and she was sent to a rendezvous point.
		Atlantis was no match for a heavy cruiser armed with eight 8-inch guns, and even with both engines fully operational, was slower by about 14 knots, so Rogge knew his only hope was to lure her closer, within range of his guns and torpedoes.
		But the cruiser, from long range, fired two 8-inch salvos, one to the left, one to the right, to which Rogge responded by stopping, signalling RRR, and identifying his ship as the Dutchman Polyhemus.

	Absolute all about Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary Cruiser / Raider) - Introduction
		For the auxiliary cruisers it was even more essential than for others because the warships never were at sea so many months and their replenishment necessities were less while the auxiliary cruisers sailed regularly for more than a year.
		Instead of opening fire on HMS Devonshire, well out of his guns maximum range, he preferred to sink his ship not giving the British cruiser the opportunity of knowing he was a raider or a blockade runner.
		At least in one case this very efficient disguise was able to cheat an Australian light cruiser to the point of it coming as close as 1.000 meters to a raider (Kormoran), but it did not always work well.

		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.).
