HMS Royalist (89)
HMS ''Royalist'' was a ''Dido''-class light cruiser of the ''Bellona'' subgroup〔The ''Bellona'' sub-group were also known as ''Dido'' group 2〕 of the Royal Navy. She was a modified ''Dido'' design with only four turrets but improved anti-aircraft armament. She was built by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company of Greenock with the keel being laid down on 21 March 1940. She was launched on 30 May 1942, and commissioned 10 September 1943.
==Royal Navy career==
Following her commissioning, ''Royalist'' spent several months working up, during which time she underwent repairs for trial defects and for alterations and additions. Amongst these were modifications for service as a carrier flagship.〔Mason, naval-history.net〕
In March 1944 ''Royalist'' joined the Home Fleet and served for a short period in the Arctic theatre. In this capacity she took part in Operation Tungsten, the carrier raid against the German battleship ''Tirpitz'' whilst the ''Tirpitz'' was in Norway. ''Royalist'' was then ordered to the Mediterranean to support the landings in the south of France (Operation Dragoon) in August 1944, as part of the escort carrier squadron TF88.1. On 15 September, accompanied by , she sank the transports ''KT4'' and ''KT26'' off Cape Spatha. She was then stationed in the Aegean Sea until late 1944, when she was ordered to the East Indies. By April 1945 she was with the 21st Escort Carrier Squadron as Flagship, supporting the Rangoon landings (Operation Dracula), and the following month was part of a force that unsuccessfully attempted to intercept a Japanese cruiser and destroyer evacuating troops from the Andaman Islands. For the remainder of the war she covered the carrier raids against targets in the East Indies and Sumatra.
Scottish author Alistair MacLean served on ''Royalist'' during the Second World War, and used his experiences as background for his acclaimed first novel ''HMS Ulysses'' as well as for some of his subsequent works.
