The Cairo-class light cruiser, also known as the Carlyle class, Cape Town class, or the third batch of C-class cruisers, was a light cruiser designed by the British in the June-July 1917 wartime emergency plan. It was slightly improved on the basis of the Grain Goddess-class light cruiser, using a more stable "towing ship bow", eliminating the command tower to reduce weight and reduce shaking, and was modified into an air defense cruiser during World War II. A total of five ships of this class were built. For example, the Colombo was launched at the Fairfield Shipyard on December 18, 1918, and completed in June 1919. The Colombo was 137.5 meters in length, 13 meters in width, 4.9 meters in draft, 4245 tons in standard displacement, 5250 tons in full displacement, and 400 crew members. After the modification, the main gun was five 152 mm 45 times diameter rapid-fire guns. The secondary cannons were two 76mm rapid-fire cannons with a diameter of 45 times, and four 533mm double-mounted torpedoes. In terms of protective armor, the bow armor was 57mm thick, the waterline armor was 75mm, the stern armor was 50mm, the deck armor was 25mm, and the main turret armor was 76mm. It was powered by a Parsons steam engine, six Yarrow furnaces, 40000 horsepower, a design speed of 29 knots, a sea trial speed of 27.5 knots, and a fuel load of 300 tons. The maximum fuel load was 935 tons. She served in the British Far East Fleet from 1919 to 1926, then deployed to the West Indies. In July 1932, she was re-incorporated into the Far East Fleet, and in 1935, she was transferred back to the local fleet. In November 1939, after the outbreak of World War II, he participated in the pursuit of German battlecruisers. August 1940-May 1942 served in the Far East Fleet again, June 1942-March 1943 was converted into an anti-aircraft cruiser.(Five single-mounted 152mm main cannons were removed and replaced with four 102mm double-mounted cannons, six 20mm anti-aircraft guns, six radars, and a high-angle director were installed.) Due to the situation in the Far East battlefield, the modified Colombo did not achieve significant results. After the end of World War II, it was retired. On January 22, 1948, it was sold in Cashmore, Australia. On May 13, the same year, it was dismantled at the Newstonius Shipyard on the East Coast of the United States.

Baltiman-class heavy cruiser

The Baltiman-class heavy cruiser was a heavy cruiser built by the U.S. Navy during World War II. It was the first heavy cruiser built by the U.S. after getting rid of the treaty restrictions. In the Blue Sea Route and its derivative works, the Baltimate-class heavy cruiser, Baltimate-class heavy cruiser No. 1, was one of the characters. The maximum armor thickness of the command tower and the ratio of the total armor weight to the standard displacement of the De Moines-class heavy cruiser were similar to the Baltimate-class heavy cruiser, but the layout design of the De Moines-class was more reasonable.

Vetopisani class armored cruiser

The Vito Pisani class armored cruiser was a cruiser built by the Italian Navy. It had a standard displacement of 6720 tons and a full-load displacement of 7242 tons. Its total length was 105.7 meters, the waterline length was 99 meters, the width was 18 meters, and the draft was 7 meters (normal) and 7.5 meters (full-load). The power system used eight coal and heavy oil mixed combustion furnaces, two vertical three-section expansion three-cylinder reciprocation steam engines, double-shaft propulsion, maximum output power of 13259 horsepower, maximum speed of 18.6 knots, endurance of about 10 knots, 6000 nautical miles, standard fuel load of 600 tons of coal, 1000 tons of full coal and 120 tons of heavy oil, 430 crew members and 486 passengers. In terms of weaponry, there were 6 Armstrong 1892 152mm single rapid-fire cannons, 8 Armstrong 1891 120mm single rapid-fire cannons, 2 Armstrong 76mm single rapid-fire cannons, 14 Armstrong 57mm single rapid-fire cannons, 10 37mm single rapid-fire cannons, and 5 457mm torpedoes. The armor protection was 150mm on the side (waterline), 37mm on the deck, 150mm on the main turret, 51mm on the cannon seat, and 150mm on the command tower. However, compared with warships of the same displacement of other naval powers, the main cannon of the Vito Pisani class armored cruiser was 152mm smaller. For example, the Tegotov built by the Austro-Hun Empire in 1882 had a displacement of 7400 tons and a main cannon caliber of 283mm. The armor protection was also inferior to the German Sachsen-class 20 years ago.(7300 tons displacement, hull armor up to 127 - 254 mm), and a speed of about 18 knots, which was also lower than the 20 knots of the 6,000-ton and 7,000-ton warships of the navies of various countries at that time. Due to its weak performance, the Vetto Pisani was converted into a repair ship in 1916, and the Carlo Alberto was converted into a transport ship in 1917 and renamed Zansang in 1918. By 1920, both ships were retired. However, the construction of this class of ships and the previous class of ships accumulated a wealth of experience and technical reserves for the Italian Navy, which prompted the construction of the Garibal-class armored cruiser in 1896.

Warhammer 40K Moon-Class Cruiser

Moon-class cruisers were the main force of the Obscuras fleet. There were a large number of them, more than 600 of which were in service in the Star Region, and at least 20 of them were involved in the Gothic War. Its design was simple and durable, and generally speaking, even beehive planets or industrial planets that could not produce capital ships could produce moon-class cruisers. For example, the Lord Daros was completed on a planet full of savage tribes, Unloth. The local aborigines excavated and smelted metals and offered them to the " temple in the sky " as sacrifices. After 11 years, these materials allowed the Lord Daros to be completed and fly away from the galaxy to join the Obscuras fleet. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting.

Italian Zara class heavy cruiser

The Zara class heavy cruiser was the product of the second phase of the Italian heavy cruiser development. ** 1. Design background ** 1. ** Dealing with the French Navy Competition ** - At that time, the French Navy's defense level in the design of heavy cruisers continued to improve. If the Italian Navy wanted to fight against them, it was expected to exchange a small price for a greater result, and it was necessary to make changes in the design of cruisers. 2. ** Make up for the lack of battleships ** - Most of the battleships of the Italian Navy were old ships from World War I. They had problems such as aging hull, low attendance rate, and limited combat effectiveness. It was difficult to undertake heavy combat missions and required the assistance of a sub-level capital ship. Therefore, the concept of the core heavy cruiser of the fleet was born. - Initially, it was envisioned that the new ship would retain the Trento-class ship model and firepower level, appropriately reduce the speed and greatly improve the armor defense, so that it could withstand 203mm caliber artillery shells from mid-range direct fire. The side armor was planned to be 200mm thick and the speed was 32 knots. The displacement was in line with the 10000-ton requirement of the Washington Convention. However, after calculation, this armor design required at least 15000 tons of displacement, which exceeded the treaty standard by 50%. Therefore, the Italian Navy had to modify the ship type and weaken the armor thickness. The final side armor thickness was determined to be 1500 mm, and the standard displacement was controlled at about 11000 tons. ** 2. Performance characteristics ** 1. ** Protective Performance ** - The main armor belt on the side was 150mm, and the horizontal armor was composed of 70mm main armor and 20mm anti-fragment armor. The underwater defense adopted a refined water-tight compartment method, and the total weight of the armor reached 2700 tons, three times that of the Taranto class. Its conveyor belt and important components (such as ammunition depots and command towers) had 150mm armor protection, which was relatively strong at that time. 2. ** Firepower Equipment ** - It was equipped with four double-mounted 203mm guns, flexible loading equipment, and could theoretically be loaded at any angle; eight double-mounted 100mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as multiple 40mm anti-aircraft guns. The ship was equipped with two seaplanes, and the aircraft hangar and catapult were located at the bow of the ship. Its firing rate could reach a maximum rate of 3.8 rounds per minute under ideal conditions. The secondary weapons included three double 100mm high-altitude dual-purpose guns on both sides of the hull, four double-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns, and four 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns, but there were no torpedoes. 3. ** Maneuvering Performance ** - It had a displacement of 11680 tons, a length of 182.8 meters, a width of 20.6 meters, and a draft of 6.2 meters. The power system consisted of eight high-pressure boiler and two steam turbine. The power was 95000 horsepower, and the maximum speed was 32 knots. However, when fully loaded, the speed was usually only 29 knots, which was slightly weaker than the Trento-class power. ** 3. Military Service ** 1. ** Become a capital ship ** - The four ships of this class started construction in 1929 - 1931, and were completed in 1931 - 1932, becoming the main force of the Italian Navy. The Zara also replaced the modern battleship Gafur as the flagship of the fleet for a long time, making the French and British navies quite afraid. 2. ** Encounter in the Battle of Cape Matapan ** - On March 28, 1941, three ships except the Gorizia participated in the Battle of Cape Matapan. Although the British Navy was not as good as the Italian Navy, it had aircraft carriers and radars. In the naval battle, the British aircraft carrier first damaged the Italian flagship, the Venetto. That night, the British decided to fight at night. They found the Italian fleet with radar and searchlights, and the Italian ships could not locate the British ships without radar and could only fight back blindly. Zara and Fum sailed in the dark to a distance of 3500 meters from the British battleship and were bombarded by three British battleships. Within three minutes, both ships were sunk. The Bora was hit by the British aircraft carrier and then sunk by the British destroyer. 3. ** Follow-up actions of the Gorizia ** - After the naval battle, only the "Gorizia" of this class was left. From 1941 to 1942, it participated in the escort mission to the Italian route in North Africa, during which it fought with the British Navy many times.
