HMS Carlisle (D67)
HMS ''Carlisle'' was a C-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy, named after the English City of Carlisle. She was the name ship of the ''Carlisle'' group of the C-class of cruisers. ''Carlisle'' was credited with shooting down eleven Axis aircraft during the Second World War, and was the top scoring anti-aircraft ship in the Royal Navy.〔(Navweapons British 4"/45 (10.2 cm) QF HA Marks XVI, XVII, XVIII and XXI )〕
==Construction and early years==
She was laid down by Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in 1917, and launched on 9 July 1918. She was completed with a hangar positioned under the bridge, and she was to carry aircraft. This was never carried out and the hangar was later removed. ''Carlisle'' was commissioned too late to see action in the First World War, and in 1919 ''Carlisle'' joined the 5th Light Cruiser Squadron at Harwich. During March she left Harwich in company with the squadron, and took up station in China. She was refitted between 1921-1929 and went on to serve on the Africa Station with the 6th Cruiser Squadron. In February 1930, Carlisle was docked in the Selborne dry dock at Simon's Town, South Africa prior to becoming a unit of the 2nd cruiser squadron Atlantic (Home Fleet). On 16 March 1937 she was relieved by the cruiser HMS ''Neptune'' and returned to the U.K. to be reduced into the reserve. In June 1939 ''Carlisle'' started a conversion to an A/A cruiser, with 8-4" QF MK16 and 1 quadruple 2 pdr Pom-Poms being fitted. This conversion was completed in January 1940. ''Carlisle'' was fitted with radar during her conversion and introduced the Type 280 radar combined air warning and gunnery radar into the Royal Navy; she thus became the first naval vessel to be equipped with an anti-aircraft fire control radar system.〔Howse, ''Radar at Sea'', p43〕
