Leander Class Light Cruiser Summary
This is a 3D printed resin sculpt of the Leander class light cruiser from GamingStar Miniatures .
The Leander class consisted of eight light cruisers built for the Royal Navy in the early 1930 and named after mythological figures.
The Leander class was influenced by the York-class heavy cruiser and was an attempt to better provide for the role of commerce protection.
During WW2, significant modifications were made, primarily adding various additional anti-aircraft armament.
The last three ships of the class had their machinery and propulsion equipment organized in two self-contained units (separated fore and aft), allowing the ship to continue operating if one set was damaged. The two exhaust funnels, one for each machinery space, gave the modified ships a different profile from the early Leanders, which had a single funnel. All three ships were sold to the Royal Australian Navy.
Ships of Class:
- Leander - Heavily damaged in 1941 but survived the war.
- Orion - Survived the war.
