	Tiger class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tiger-class guided-missile cruisers were the first of such a type in the Royal Navy, indeed they were the last cruisers built for the RN.
		The design of the Tigers differed from the original Minotaurs in that they were armed with two state-of-the-art automatic twin mount 6-inch guns designed just for the Tigers rather than the more obsolete three triple mount 6-inch guns used for the Minotaurs and designed in 1929.
		Other ship classes that were close to entering service, such as the famous Leander-class and Tribal-class frigates were being equipped with the SeaCat missile system, though only three of the Tribals would be armed with that missile system.

	Crown Colony class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were built due to the limitations that the Washington Treaty imposed on cruisers, that they should not exceed 10,000 tons, and were basically smaller derivatives of the Town-class cruiser, though only slightly.
		Due to the size of the Crown Colony class, a number of the ships had to have one of their main turrets removed to allow 40 mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns to be added.
		That honour went to Blake, a modified Tiger-class cruiser, which was decommissioned in 1979, seemingly the last ever cruiser to be in the Royal Navy.

		Only two Minotaur class were completed for the RN and they were the Swiftsure and Superb while one was transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy, originally Minotaur, then HMCS Ontario, just as WWII was beginning to come to a close, which became known as the Swiftsure-class.
		The design of the Tigers differed from the original Swiftsures in that they were armed with two state of the art automatic twin mount 6-in guns designed just for the Tigers rather than the more obsolete three twin mount 6-guns used for the Swiftsures and designed in 1929.
		Other ships classes that were close to enter RN service, such as the famous Leanders and the Tribals were not far from entering service with the SeaCat missile system, though only three of the Tribals would be armed with that missile system.

		The cruiser was host to the Westland Wessex HAS MK3 helicopters of 820 Naval Air Squadron from 1969 until withdrawn from service in 1979, when the ship became the last ship in the Royal Navy to fire a six inch gun.
		When building continued in 1954, it was to a revised design known as the Tiger Class, and Blake was launched in 1961, becoming the last Cruiser to enter service in the Royal Navy.
		Due to the number of crew and the increasing obsolescence of guns, she was withdrawn into reserve in 1963.

	Tiger Class Cruisers
		As the Second World War ear cruisers reached the end of their operational lives, the status of Tiger, Lion and Blake was reconsidered and on October 15th 1954 it was announced work on the three cruisers would resume and they would be completed to a revised ‘Tiger Class’ design.

	hms lion
		These guns gave the class the greatest fire-power of any cruiser the Royal Navy had ever built, with the water cooled 6-inch and 3-inch guns capable of firing 20 and 90 rounds per minute per gun respectivly (although this rate of fire would empty the magazines in a few minutes).
		Shortly after entering service, Tiger & Blake were converted to ASW Helicopter Cruisers embarking 4 Sea King or Wessex anti-submarine helicopters, with the aft 6-inch twin turret replaced by a hanger and light deck and the two amidships 3-inch twin turrets replaced by Seacat point defense SAMs.
		Blake was the last cruiser in the Royal Navy and in December 1979 ended a 100 year tradition of RN Cruisers.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The consensus of opinion seems to be that the "battle cruiser" was misconceived -- neither fish nor fowl: too much of a battleship to be relegated to cruiser tasks, but too little of a battleship to be hazarded in the line-of-battle.
		These cruisers all began to look like miniature battleships and, indeed, it was they that had the speed and range to form lines of battle in most of the significant surface engagements of the Pacific War.
		This, without regard to the tonnage, was then called a "light cruiser." The Japanese therefore immediately planned a class of ships, just as large as the "heavy" cruisers, but with fifteen 6 inch guns, in triple turrets, instead of ten 8 inch guns, in double turrets.

	Akira Class
		Taking a close look at Akira Class, one can see a hull design that in some ways resembles the older Miranda shape, and hails from lineage perpetuated by Loknar, Compton and Nautilus Classes, indeed the basic configuration can be traced back to some early Starfleet ships such as the P Class and NX Class Cruisers.
		Like others, I presume this class to be a fairly recent addition to the fleet, a prototype construction date being no earlier than 2365, more realistically 2370, as this class looks brand new, with a fresh concept.
		My tag of 'Heavy Cruiser' is reasonably accepted in canon now, as is the length, but in some quarters even that basic value remains contested.
