H.M.S."AJAX"
The Ajax is the most modern unit of the
Leander class, comprising five ships, with
an average displacement of about 7,000 tons,
launched during 1931-34. Designed by the
late Sir William Berry, they were the first
British cruisers built since the Great War to
be armed with 6-inch guns mounted in pairs.
These guns, of which there are eight, are of a.
different type from earlier models, being
produced by the  auto-frettage , system
instead of being wire-wound, The armament
also includes eight 4-inch anti-aircraft guns
and eight torpedo tubes. Geared turbines of
72,000 horse power give a designed speed of.
32-5." Two aircraft, with acatapult,
.are carried. With a single funnel amidships,
these cruisers are quite different in appear-
ance from any. others if the Royal Navy, |
and are easily recognizable,at sea...
