HMS Diomede (D92)
HMS ''Diomede'' was a of the Royal Navy. Constructed at Vickers Armstrong, Barrow, she was constructed too late to take part in World War I and was consequently completed at the Royal Dockyard, Portsmouth. Between the wars, she served on the China Station, Pacific waters, East Indies Waters and from 1936 onwards, in reserve. In World War II she performed four years of arduous war duty, during which time she captured the German blockade runner . Between 22 July 1942 and 24 September 1943 she was converted to a training ship at Rosyth Dockyard. In 1945 she was placed in reserve and scrapped a year later.
==Background==
During World War I intelligence reports suggested that the Germans were building a new class of cruiser which could outgun the existing C-class light cruisers. It was believed that an improved C class with an added super-firing gun in front of the deckhouse (and the requisite increase of beam and adapting of superstructure) would maintain British naval superiority in a battle. In September 1916 the first three ships of the new class (, and ) were launched and a second group (, and ) was ordered in July 1917.
''Diomede'', was part of a third tranche ordered in March 1918. This group was to have composed of six vessels but the end of the war saw this reduced to two, ''Diomede'' and . ''Diomede'' had been laid down Vickers Armstrong of Barrow-in-Furness in mid-1918, but after launching in 1919 work was suspended. However, in 1922 she was towed to the Royal Dockyard, Portsmouth and completed on 22 February. Like the second group of ''Danae''-class vessels, ''Diomede'' was fitted with a trawler bow. Before completion, the suitability of her conversion to a Royal Yacht had been discussed, but nothing came of the idea.
