H.M.S. Cleopatra (1915)
Pendant Number: 1A (1914)

H.M.S. Cleopatra was one of six Caroline class light cruisers completed for the Royal Navy early in the Great War.

Service

Cleopatra was recommissioned at Portsmouth on 25 October, 1920.[8]

She recommissioned at Chatham on 16 October, 1923.[9]

She recommissioned 3 January, 1925 for service with the Second Cruiser Squadron in the Atlantic Fleet.[10]

She paid off into Dockyard Control on 8 December, 1926.[11]

Cleopatra was re-commissioned at Chatham on 31 December, 1928.[12]

Alterations

Cleopatra was fitted with a director in July, 1917. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[13]

At some point likely after the end of the war, she received a Dreyer Turret Control Table in her T.S..[14]
