	Dyno Cruiser
		Cruisers were large enough to fend off attacks from smaller surface ships and self-sufficient enough to roam far from their home bases.
		This lead to the construction of 10,000 light cruisers with twelve to fifteen 6 inch (152 mm) guns that were otherwise identical to the heavy cruisers.
		The last heavy cruisers were built during World War II, and ultimately resulted in the ''Alaska'' class of "large cruiser" which were often referred to as battlecruisers because of their size and armament fulfill the battlecruiser-definition as well.

	Heavy cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term heavy cruiser was given a definition by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921.
		This led to the construction of "light cruisers" of 10,000 tons with twelve to fifteen 6 inch guns that were otherwise identical to heavy cruisers.
		The biggest were the Alaska class of "large cruiser", which were often referred to as battlecruisers because their size and armament approximated that of a small battleship.

	U.S. Cruisers
		The cruiser is, per definition, the smallest ocean-going warship capable of independent operations, meaning operations in which the cruiser is the largest capital ship.
		Along with the design of new battleships, or ships-of-the-line, thus came the construction of two types of cruisers: armoured cruisers, which were intended to serve in "real" fleet actions, meaning battles, and light cruisers, that, with their lighter armament and armor could carry more coal and thus go further.
		Those who have stated that the US cruisers were at a disadvantage without them, and that their removement was a great failure, seem not to understand the situation that the US was to find in battle.

		During her trials, HAWKINS reached a speed of 28.7 knots, which was deemed acceptable as modifications during construction had added nearly 900 tons to her designed weight.
		HAWKINS was converted to burn oil fuel only in 1930; her coal bunkers were removed and oil bunkerage increased to 2,740 tons.
		HAWKINS was in service as a cadet training ship at the outbreak of the war.

	Avalanche Press
		Hawkins had been ordered in 1915 based on reports that Germany was building a new type of cruiser designed for long-range commerce raiding, possibly armed with more powerful weapons than the standard German 5.9-inch gun.
		The new British cruiser had to have greater shell weight and range than the German 5.9-inch or 6.7-inch guns, and the Admiralty insisted on the 7.5-inch gun as used in the Devonshire-class armored cruisers at the turn of the century.
		The cruisers did have very long range, given their mission of hunting commerce raiders, and impressive size at 9,750 tons, almost twice the displacement of the British D-class light cruisers built at the same time.

		In August, in company with the cruiser HMS Norfolk she left Scapa Flow for Bear Island area tasked to intercept German fishing boats, however the mission was aborted due to bad weather.
		At 0912 the cruiser Devonshire signalled "cruisers withdraw" it was during the withdrawal that HMAS Australia suffered her casualties.
		June saw the cruiser escorting convoys in the Tasman Sea and for the remainder of 1941 she was on escort and patrol duties on the South Atlantic station, this period however, included a brief visit to Kerguelen Island, to seek a possible German raider.

		The Atlas-E class, which is the finalized Atlas class was created in response to a need for a powerful capital vessel with the firepower and defenses to enable it to face off against enemy dreadnaught type vessels at a diminished disadvantage.
		Originally, the Council class was intended to replace the entire Excelsior line, but due to the popularity of the older ships, the Councils have supplanted only a few of their predecessors while supplementing the rest.
		The Council-class cruiser that was to be named Enterprise was renamed as the Elesca, number 41701, while the alphabetized number of 1701-C was assigned to the fourth starship Enterprise after all.

		It was assessed that Japanese had concentrated on only some ships as Hawkins and Garth had the good fortune to enter a squall at a critical moment and not again been spotted until the action was over and they were going on the reverse course.
		The Hawkins class were designed and built as deep-sea long-range trade protection cruisers with speed, endurance, sea keeping and long-range gunnery as the centre of the design.
		It should be noted the D class cruisers were built for the cold waters of the North Sea to fight the Kaisers Navy and by any standard are out of their element in the warm wide oceans of the Far East two decades later.

		The USS Rovira, as first of her class, was constructed in 2269 for long- range intercept missions and combat operations.
		Small and efficient, the Vanguard class was designed primarily to supplement stationary outposts such as planetary starbases and colonies, as well as orbital complexes such as stations and drydocks.

	MWCC Alumni Class Notes - The 60s
		Reflecting upon the fact that the Mount had just opened its doors and this class was the first group of alumni, it now seems crystal clear that Dr. Haley, from the beginning, had a noble vision of how to prepare his students for their careers.
		Classes were usually small, about 25 students per class.
		In Jack Leamy’s English class, I was thoroughly grounded in the literature, history, and philosophy of the periods we studied.

		The upshot of the postponement of new cruiser construction was the London Treaty of 1930.
		Cruisers were now subdivided into two types; heavy cruisers with guns over 6.1-inch and no greater than 8-inch and light cruisers with guns up to 6.1-inch.
		The large hangar which was a characteristic of the class is cast in two parts with an open interior, with the separate upper hangar deck on top of the two hangar halves.

	Cruisers
		In the immediate years after the end of the Second World War, construction of light fleet 'carriers took priority over that of new cruisers and so Second World War era vessels continued in service in the 1940s and 1950s.
		In the early 1960s the three Tiger Class vessels were finally completed., but despite an impressive gun armament, they lacked modern guided missiles.
		Above: The last surviving Second World War Royal Navy Cruiser, HMS Belfast, enters Portsmouth Dockyard in the Summer of 1999 for dry-docking, during which her hull was inspected and repainted.

		Design: Followed light cruiser design practice in terms of hull size, and form, structure, etc. She had a full-length hangar and flight deck, which narrowed sharply at the bow.
		In the end she was completed to a standard carrier configuration, but was quite inefficient due to her battleship origins.
		Her sister was taken over, completed as a battleship, and commissioned in RN as Canada; she was returned to Chile postwar.

	Warship Classification
		The light cruisers did well but, even the late-war RN C D and E classes were not powerful enough to suit.
		The Buckey and Everts classes were frigates to the RN and DE's to the USN.
		Despite the obvious superiority of destroyers with light cruiser support for moving mud and smashing concrete (sloops, minesweepers etc. did good stuff too but we don't talk about that), heavy cruisers and battleships were used as the the GBG fetish prevailed.

		In the conversion, the top two decks were removed and a light cruiser superstructure fitted, thus removing the boat deck, cabins and lounges.
		The new funnel arrangements gave the ROBERT a handsome and belligerent appearance resembling a Hawkins class cruiser.

		On the cruise, F6Fs and TBMs were launched and recovered to keep the pilots sharp for action.

		On October 11, 1942 Furutaka was battered by US cruisers during the Battle of Cape Esperance and finished off by a torpedo from the USS Duncan, which in turn sank the next day as a result of the heavy damage inflicted upon her by Furutaka and Japanese destroyers.
		Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War by Eric Lacroix and Linton Wells II indicates at pages 259 and 803 that the ships had one E7K1 Alf (Type 94) seaplane and one E8N2 Dave (Type 95) seaplane.

		These guns were used mainly on the Hawkins class cruisers which were intended for the anti-merchant cruiser and trade protection roles.
		In order to give sufficient deck clearance for the recoil at full elevation, the center-line guns were mounted in shallow wells and the side weapons were mounted on elevated platforms.
		As the Hawkins class were gradually converted to other weapons during their careers, many of these guns became surplus to naval requirements and 17 were then transferred to coastal artillery.
