One of the Danae-class cruisers, representing an advancement in the later C-class series of ships. She stood out from her predecessors with her enlarged size as well as stronger artillery and torpedo armament. Dunedin, the fifth ship in the series, served within the Royal Navy's New Zealand Division from 1924 through 1937. During World War II, she actively operated in the Atlantic, capturing several enemy transports. Dunedin was sunk in November 1941 by a German submarine while on active duty.
