H.M.S."SOUTHAMPTON"
Cruiser,  Southampton  Class
H.41.S. Southampton gives her name to one
of the latest of the cruiser classes, numbering .
ten ships. Their displacement varies from
9,100 to 10,000 tons. Somewhat unusual
in appearance, they are very smart and
rakish-looking vessels, and were the first
ships to mount 6-inch guns in triple turrets.
The armament consists of twelve 6-inch
guns, six forward and six aft, eight 4-inch
anti-aircraft guns, one 3-7-inch howitzer,
four 3-pounders and subsidiary weapons.
Six 21-inch tripled torpedo tubes are also
included, while the ship carries two aircraft
with a catapult. With a speed of 32-33
knots, their heavy volume of rapid gun-fire
should render these vessels very effective
fighting units. All ten ships were launched
during 1936-38.
