HMS Superb (25)
HMS ''Superb'' was a ''Minotaur''-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was laid down by Swan Hunter & Wigham Richardson, of Wallsend, Tyne and Wear on 23 June 1942, launched on 31 August 1943 and commissioned on 16 November 1945.
==Construction and design==
''Superb'' was the last of the ''Minotaurs'' to be built, and was completed to a slightly different design to that of the previous members of the class, with a foot more beam than her immediate predecessor HMS Swiftsure, which had introduced Type 274 lock and follow radar directors for surface action. With Superb the first Type 275 sets, modified versions of the lock and follow radar, were introduced to also control anti aircraft fire of the twin four inch mounts. Unfortunately the versions of 275 fitted were the British glasshouse director version, which had higher tolerances and less reliability than the American versions of the set, which were reserved for the latter Battle class destroyers and carriers Eagle and Ark Royal under construction and in particular the last battleship, Vanguard for its secondary armamment. Construction on her unfinished sisters was halted after the end of the war and they were later scrapped, or converted into the new ''Tiger'' class automatic gun cruiser. Superb itself was planned to be converted to full automatic 6inch and 3/70 gun Tiger specifications and would have been much more suitable for such modernisation than the narrower beam Swifsure. It is unfortunate that Superb was not selected for modernisation before the Swiftsure, because the better physical condition of the later cruiser would have made the more limited update planned for Swiftsure in 1956 much more economical and viable to complete on Superb. The plans to modernise Superb at the time of the 1957 Defence Review was much more cost constricted and would have been similar to the limited modernisation of HMS Belfast,〔N. Freidman.
