H.M.S."CURLEW"
Anti-aircraft Cruiser,  Coventry Class
H.M.S. Curlew was built under the Emergency
War Programme in 1916 and completed in
1917, by Vickers, as a light cruiser. This
ship and the Coventry were reconstructed and
rearmed in 1935 to fit them for the special
duties of anti-aircraft vessels. Thus their
armament consists of a large number of
rapid-fire) anti-aircraft guns, including ten
4-inch guns on high-angle mountings,
supported by two multiple pom-poms, and
smaller weapons. H.M.S. Curlew has a speed
of 29 knots on 40,000 h.p., a displacement of
4,290 tons, and carries a crew of 400. Six
other vessels of similar type, the Cairo,
Calcutta, Capetown, Carlisle, Colombo and
Curacoa, are undergoing conversion to anti-
aircraft cruisers,
