Caledon
In 1911, requirements for a "fleet scout" that could maintain high speed in the North Sea took shape. The Caledon class was built between 1916 and 1917, taking military experience into account: She was distinguished by a more extended forecastle and the positioning of her torpedo launchers. After entering service in 1917, HMS Caledon participated in the intervention of the British Fleet in the Baltic. The ship was part of the Atlantic Fleet until 1926 and served in the Mediterranean Fleet between 1927 and 1931. In 1933, she was sent to the reserve but resumed active service with the outbreak of World War II.
