A British light cruiser (HMS Aurora) intended to carry out close reconnaissance and counter-destroyer missions. In 1948, the ship was transferred to an East Asian nation. In the early 1950s, a plan was drawn up for the refurbishment of the cruiser by replacing her weapons and equipment with Soviet-made models, but this plan wasn't enacted and she served her final years as a barracks ship.
