Danae class cruiser : ウィキペディア英語版 | Danae-class cruiser
The ''Danae'' or D class was a class of light cruiser built for the Royal Navy at the end of World War I which also saw service in World War II. ==Design==
The ''Danae''s were based on the design of the preceding series, but were lengthened by to allow a sixth gun to be worked in between the bridge and the forefunnel. This gave an 'A', 'B', 'P', 'Q', 'X', 'Y' arrangement. Additionally, the twin torpedo tubes in the C class were replaced by triples, giving the ''Danae''s a total of twelve tubes, the heaviest torpedo armament for a cruiser at the time. Machinery and general layout was otherwise the same as the ''Ceres'' group of C-class cruisers. However, ''Danae'', ''Dauntless'' and ''Dragon'' were ordered before the ''Capetown'' group, and therefore did not incorporate the improved bow design of the latter; the C class were ''very'' wet forwards, and in the ''Capetown''s sheer was increased forwards into a knuckled "trawler bow". Such was the success of the knuckled bow that it was incorporated into all subsequent British cruisers (except of 1935 which was completed without). ''Despatch'' and ''Diomede'' had their beam increased by ½ foot to increase stability and ''Dragon'' and ''Dauntless'' were completed with a hangar for a floatplane built into the bridge, the compass platform being on top. ''Delhi'', ''Dunedin'', ''Durban'', ''Despatch'' and ''Diomede'' were provided with flying-off platforms for a wheeled aircraft aft. ''Despatch'' and ''Diomede'' were completed with 4 inch anti-aircraft (A/A) guns ''vis'' 12 pounder (3 inch) guns in their sisters and ''Diomede'' had 'A' gun shipped in a weatherproof housing CP Mark XVI, an encouraging development for gun crews hitherto exposed to the worst of the elements on the fo'c'sle.
