	Arethusa Class 1913
		Arethusa Class light cruisers built before World War I. Ships in the class were HMS Arethusa, HMS Aurora, HMS Galatea, HMS Inconstant, HMS Penelope, HMS Phaeton, HMS Royalist and HMS Undaunted.
		The Arethusa, out of the eight guns with which she began the fight, was now able to use only one, the whole of the others having been put out of action.
		Had the Arethusa been able, she would have gone in chase; but her machinery was in urgent need of attention, while a little breathing space was to get the damaged guns into fighting order again.
