	HMS Arethusa 1933 to 1950
		Arethusa was built at a cost of £1.25 million in 1935 (roughly £66 million in todays money) and was capable of delivering an awesome level of firepower, as such she would have been considered a rich target for the enemy.
		Arethusa was slightly damaged in air attacks during these operations.
		Arethusa's main task was gunfire support to the Sixth Airborne Division which had dropped to the East of the river Orne to seize bridges over the river and Caen canal, and for a long time there was difficulty in gaining reliable information as to where the troops were.

	EARLY HISTORY OF SHAFTESBURY HOMES & ARETHUSA
		HMS Arethusa was the fourth Naval ship of this name which derives from the water nymph Arethusa of Greek mythology who, when she was being pursued by Alpheus the River God, turned herself into a fountain to escape his advances.
		The new Arethusa, her conversion completed, was moored at Upnor on 4th July 1933 for a fee of £25 per year and she was officially opened by HRH Prince George on 25th July.
		The old Arethusa was towed away from Greenhithe on 18th July 1933 and thus ended an era of training Shaftesbury boys at Greenhithe which had been going on since the inauguration of the Chichester on 18th December 1866.
