HMS Curlew (D42)
HMS ''Curlew'' was a light cruiser built for the Royal Navy during World War I. She was part of the ''Ceres'' sub-class of the C class. The ship survived World War I to be sunk by German aircraft during the Norwegian Campaign in 1940.

''Curlew'' was powered by two Parsons steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft, which produced a total of . The turbines used steam generated by six Yarrow boilers which gave her a speed of about . She carried tons of fuel oil. The ship had a crew of about 460 officers and other ranks.〔Gardiner & Gray, p. 61〕
The armament of the ''Ceres'' sub-class was identical to that of the preceding ''Caledon'' sub-class and consisted of five BL 6-inch (152 mm) Mk XII guns that were mounted on the centreline. One superfiring pair of guns was forward of the bridge, one was aft of the two funnels and the last two were in the stern, with one gun superfiring over the rearmost gun. The two anti-aircraft guns were positioned abreast of the fore funnel. The ''Ceres''s were equipped with eight torpedo tubes in four twin mounts, two on each broadside.〔
