HMS Lion (C34)
HMS ''Lion'' was a light cruiser of the Royal Navy, originally ordered in 1942 as one of the and laid down that same year as ''Defence'' by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock in Scotland on 6 June 1942.
==Design and construction==
Partially complete, ''Lion'' was launched on 2 September 1944 by Lady Edelson, but work was suspended in 1946. The cruiser was further advanced than the two other ''Tiger''s and the new Mk 24 triple six inch turrets for all three ''Tiger''-class ships were 75-80% complete〔The new turrets slightly improved, 60 degree DP, RPC, power rammed and with a powered breech, versions of the standard RN triple six inch structures fitted, from in 1939 to in 1945, with a rate of fire 5-8 rpm ( N.Friedman. British Cruisers of WW2 and After. Seaforth. UK (2010))superior at range to the other triple RN six inch mounts with direct triple flow from the magazine to each gun in the turret. These RN guns, like the US and the Soviet mounts, fired at 5-6 rounds per minute (rpm) at full elevation and up to 12 rpm at low elevation. From sources such as N.Freidman - British Cruisers (2010), it appears the Mk 24 was an interim mid-1940s build intended for the ''Tiger''s and HMS ''Hawke'',and enlarged ''Belfast'' cruisers of about 15,000 tons. The Mk 24 were not used, because by 1949 a decision had been made against their DC power, and ''Lion'' was stripped for refitting for AC and postwar Soviet jet aircraft made there anti-aircraft capabilities obsolete compared with the fully automatic Mk 26 approved in 1954 which looked useful to politicians and Treasury and manning requirements of manual and semi-automatic cruiser turrets were unacceptable post war.〕 Still named ''Defence'', she was laid up at Gareloch. Construction of ''Defence'' and two other cruisers was later resumed to a revised design. ''Defence'' was renamed ''Lion'' in 1957 and construction continued at the Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson yards at Wallsend.
