HMS Blake (C99)
HMS ''Blake'' was a light cruiser of the of the Royal Navy, the last of the (traditional) Royal Navy gun-armed cruisers in the 20th century. She was named after Admiral Robert Blake, a 17th-century admiral who was the "Father of the Royal Navy". She was ordered in 1942 as one of the of light cruisers. They had a low construction priority due to more pressing requirements for other ship types during World War II, particularly anti-submarine craft. ''Blake'' was laid down in 1942. In 1944, ''Blake'' was renamed ''Tiger'', then ''Blake'' again in 1945, the year she was launched partially constructed at the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Govan, by Lady Jean Blake, wife of Vice Admiral Sir Geoffrey Blake. Construction of ''Blake'' was suspended in 1946 and she was laid up at Gareloch.
==Construction and commissioning==
In 1954, construction of ''Blake'' resumed, but to a new design. The new design was approved in 1951, but construction did not resume until 1954. She would have fully automatic 6 inch guns in twin high-angle mounts with each gun capable of shooting 20 rounds per minute, and a secondary battery of fully automatic 3 inch guns which delivered 90 rounds per minute per gun. She would have no lighter anti-aircraft armament or torpedo tubes. Air conditioning was fitted throughout the ship, and a 200-line automatic telephone exchange was installed. Each 6 inch and 3 inch mounting had its own director, linked to a dedicated radar on the director. On 18 March 1961, ''Blake'' finally commissioned into the Royal Navy, to date the last (traditional) cruiser to do so. Just two years later, she was placed in reserve.
