    H.M.S."ARETHUSA"
    Cruiser,  Arethusa Class
    The Arethusa belongs to a class of four ships,
    which in their main characteristics are
    reduced editions of the Leander type. With
    a displacement of 5,220 tons, the Arethusa
    mounts an armament of six 6-inch guns and
    eight 4-inch anti-aircraft guns, besides six
    torpedo tubes and smaller weapons. Her
    geared turbines of 64,00U horse power give a
    speed of 32-25 knots. One seaplane and a
    catapult are included in the equipment. In
    order that the seaplane may not be subject
    to interference by air currents in its position
    between the two widely-spaced funnels, the
    latter ace streamlined. A considerable reduc-
    tion in weight was effected in these ships by
    the extensive use of electric welding and the
    employment of aluminium-covered piywood
    for bulkheads.
