HMS Caroline (1914)
HMS ''Caroline'' is a decommissioned C-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy that saw combat service in the First World War and served as an administrative centre in the Second World War. ''Caroline'' was launched and commissioned in 1914. At the time of her decommissioning in 2011 she was the second-oldest ship in Royal Navy service, after HMS ''Victory''. She served as a static headquarters and training ship for the Royal Naval Reserve, based in Alexandra Dock, Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the later stages of her career. She was the last remaining British First World War light cruiser in service, and she is the last survivor of the Battle of Jutland still afloat. She is also one of only three surviving Royal Navy warships of the First World War, along with the 1915 Monitor (in Portsmouth dockyard), and the Flower-class sloop HMS ''President'' (1918), (formerly HMS ''Saxifrage'') moored on the Thames at Blackfriars.
==Construction==
HMS ''Caroline'' was built by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead. She was laid down on 28 January 1914, launched on 29 September 1914 and completed in December 1914.〔Gardiner, Robert, ed., ''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906-1921'', Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1985, ISBN 0-87021-907-3, , , p. 56, ((preview of 2006 reprint )).〕 ''Caroline'' was part of the early sub-set of C-class light cruisers built without geared turbines〔''The Grand Fleet: Warship Design and Development 1906–1922'', D. K Brown〕 and subsequent comparisons with later vessels of the same class demonstrated the superiority of geared propulsion. ''Carolines'' machinery is still in place today, although not in working order.
