HMS Black Prince (81)
HMS ''Black Prince'' was a light cruiser of the Royal Navy, of the ''Bellona'' subgroup. The cruiser was commissioned in 1943, and served during World War II on the Arctic convoys, during the Normandy landings, and as part of the British Pacific Fleet. In 1946, the cruiser was loaned to the Royal New Zealand Navy, becoming HMNZS ''Black Prince''. The cruiser was docked for modernisation in 1947, but in April, her sailors walked off the ship as part of a series of mutinies in the RNZN. The shortage of manpower resulting from these mutinies meant that the modernisation had to be cancelled, and ''Black Prince'' was placed in reserve until 1953. She returned to service after refitting and standardisation of the secondary armament with 40mm twin and single guns. The ship was decommissioned again two years later, and she was returned to the Royal Navy in 1961. ''Black Prince'' did not re-enter service, and was towed from Auckland to the Osaka breakage yards for scrapping in 1962
==Design and construction==
She was a modified ''Dido'' design, sometimes called ''Dido'' Group 2, or the ''Bellona'' subgroup with only four 5.25-inch mounts instead of five, and improved anti-aircraft armament. She was built by Harland & Wolff of Belfast, Northern Ireland, with her keel being laid down on 1 December 1939.〔''Jane's Fighting Ships of World War II'', London: The Random House Group Ltd.

''Black Prince'' was named after Prince Edward (1330-1376), the eldest son of King Edward III.
