Tier V · Cruiser · U.K.
Rating C- (Quite weak within its tier and class · overall score 17) · Torpedo cruiser
Torpedo cruiser. It is weak against battleships (AP deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 29 min on paper · torpedoes supply 74% of it). A full torpedo spread can deal up to 17,472 (all launchers combined). Torpedo DPM is 68% higher than average. 32.8 kn top speed and good turning, rudder shift, acceleration give it excellent mobility. Its firepower trails other cruisers, so pick favorable angles and ranges over straight DPM races.

The most advanced British light cruiser among those designed during World War I. The ship's powerful propulsion allowed for high speeds. Her larger displacement helped strengthen the cruiser's artillery and torpedo armament, and allowed her to be equipped with aircraft-handling gear.
