	Leander class cruiser (1931) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Leander class was a class of eight light cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s that saw service in World War II.
		The Leander class was influenced by the York class heavy cruiser, and was an attempt to better provide for the role of commerce protection.
		In 1941, Sydney was torpedoed and sunk by the German auxiliary cruiser Kormoran, which Sydney sank in the same action, off the coast of Australia.

	T. S. S. Monowai, 1925 - 1960 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first class saloon, music room, lounge, smoking rooms and verandah cafe were placed forward amidships on the bridge deck, while toward the after end of the same deck were the second class music saloon, verandah and smoking rooms.
		On a typical cruise from Auckland, the Monowai embarked her passengers in the evening, anchored in the stream for a get-together dance and social and then sailed in the early hours of the morning for a before breakfast arrival at the imposing entrance to Whangaroa Harbour.
		Although conditions during the cruise had generally been favourable, the last day out from Auckland was fairly uncomfortable so her master took the ship into Port Fitzroy on Great Barrier Island where the farewell fancy dress ball could be held while at anchor with everyone able to enjoy it.

		As, in the past, the place of the big cruiser was taken by the armoured cruiser and the battle cruiser, there came an ever increasing demand for fast light cruisers that did the effective scouting at Jutland.
		Because of this disposition of their armament the "Centaur" and "Concord," the immediate predecessor of the "C" class illustrated here, were nicknamed "Tyrwhitt's Dreadnoughts." The "D" class vessels were longer by twenty feet than the "C" class, enabling them to mount another six-inch gun between the bridge and the fore funnel.
		With the exception of HMS "Curacoa," of 4,290 tons, all the ex cruisers are of 4,200 tons displacement, carrying a complement of from 400 to 437.

		Some years after the last war, the British Admiralty laid down that, in future, there would only be two classes of cruiser, the “battle cruiser” and the “cruiser.” Then came the Washington Treaty, which limited the size of cruisers to 10,000 tons, and their armament to 8-inch guns.
		All these cruisers are similar in appearance, being easily recognisable by their three raking funnels, raking masts and high freeboard (they were the last three funnelled ships built for the Royal Navy), but they differ outwardly in various ways.
		They are cruisers that have come in for a great deal of criticism in the past, epithets such as “tin-clads” and “liners” being coined by their detractors.

		Thus we see a succession of partisan actions continuing without intermission for nearly twenty years, each injury repeated with interest, each oscillation more violent, each risk more grave, until at last it seemed that the sabre itself must be invoked to cool the blood and the passions that were rife.
