C-Class Cruiser

The British C-class light cruisers were built in several groups during the First World War era. Designed for fleet and patrol duties, they served across a long period of changing naval requirements. Some survivors were converted into anti-aircraft cruisers before or during the Second World War, while others retained more conventional arrangements. The broad C-class label therefore covers important differences in construction group and modernization, and is distinct from submarines or unrelated later ships using the same letter.

British C-class cruisers originated during the First World War and served in numerous subclasses. Later antiaircraft conversions illustrate how useful existing hulls could be adapted as naval threats shifted from torpedo craft toward increasingly capable aircraft.
