==Service==
''Cassandra'' initially joined the 6th Light Cruiser Squadron of the Grand Fleet. She suffered a mishap when she and sister ship ran aground on Fair Isle on 15 August 1917 but both ships were successfully salvaged.〔Gardiner and Gray 1985, pp. 60–61.〕 Following the end of the First World War, the 6th Light Cruiser Squadron, including ''Cassandra'' formed part of a force sent to the Baltic under the command of Rear-Admiral Edwyn Alexander-Sinclair to support the independence of the newly-founded Baltic States against the Bolsheviks.〔Bennett 2002, pp. 33–34.〕 On 5 December 1918 Alexander-Sinclair's force was on passage to Tallinn, threatened by a Bolshevik army, when ''Cassandra'' struck a mine, part of an uncharted German minefield, near Saaremaa in the Gulf of Finland. ''Cassandra'' quickly sank, but most of her crew were rescued by the destroyers and with only eleven of her crew lost. (Ten were killed by the initial explosion while one man fell overboard during the rescue attempt).〔Bennett 2002, pp. 35–36.〕〔Dittmar and Colledge 1972, p. 48.〕
