HMS Cambrian


Description[]

The third C subclass showed only minor differences to the preceding Calliope class. Their displacement was somewhat larger, resulting in their top speed sinking to 28 knots again, and a third 6" gun was mounted on the forecastle instead of the two 4" guns on their cousins.
