RN:
Battleship HMS Nelson escorting a convoy to Malta during Operation Halberd, Sept 1941

Light cruiser HMS Arethusa on patrol in rough seas. 1941.

Designed as a smaller version of the Amphion (sub)class, the Arethusa class was considered the minimum required for a cruiser to perform trade protection duties while also being capable of fleet operations.

Arethusa would see service during the Norwegian campaign and later in the Mediterranean. In 1942 she would be hit by an aerial torpedo, taking her out of service until 1944. She would subsequently assist in the Allied invasion of Normandy until she was damaged by a magnetic mine, requiring more repairs.

After hostilities ended there were plans to sell her to Norway but these amounted to nothing so she was scrapped in 1950.
