Leander-class cruiser (1931)
The ''Leander'' class was a class of eight light cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930s that saw service in World War II. They were named after mythological figures, and all ships were commissioned between 1933 and 1936. The three ships of the second group were sold to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) before World War II and renamed after Australian cities.
==Design==
The ''Leander'' class was influenced by the ''York''-class heavy cruiser, and was an attempt to better provide for the role of commerce protection. The 7,000-7,200 ton ''Leander''s were armed with eight BL 6 inch Mk XXIII naval guns in twin turrets, two forward and two aft. Their secondary armament consisted of four high angle QF 4 inch Mk V naval guns, which were later replaced by twin mountings for eight guns (the later high angle QF 4 inch Mk XVI naval gun). Their close range anti-aircraft weaponry consisted of twelve Vickers machine guns in three quadruple mounts. They also shipped a bank of four torpedo tubes on each beam and provision was made in the design for carriage of two catapult-launched Fairey Seafox aircraft.
Speed was , and 845 tons of armour was provided. During trials in December 1932 ''Leander'' made with at 7265 tons displacement and with at 9010 tons deep displacement.〔Raven and Roberts, p.154〕 The first five vessels did not contain dispersed machinery; the boiler rooms were arranged together and exhausted into a single funnel, a unique feature amongst British cruisers. This meant that damage amidships was more liable to disable all the boiler rooms. In service their machinery proved to be highly reliable and exceeded trials output by a wide margin as evidenced by ''Achilles'' on 13 December 1939 during The Battle of the River Plate:
