H.M.S. Carysfort was one of six Caroline class light cruisers completed for the Royal Navy early in the Great War.
Service
She recommissioned at Devonport on 28 May, 1919.[8]
Carysfort was re-commissioned at Devonport on 6 January, 1925.[9]
Re-commissioned at Devonport with a Reserve Complement on 25 July, 1927.[10]
Carysfort was transferred to Dockyard Control at Devonport on 28 April, 1931.[11]
Alterations
In 1915-1916, she was given a Wise Pressure Telegraphy System Type B to trial for torpedo control. Based on this trial, in 1917, she likely received Chadburn's Torpedo Order Telegraphs and had her Wise gauges redone to indicate Torpedo Deflection only, as well as having Barr and Stroud instruments provided to acknowledge torpedo orders given via Wise and Chadburn.[12]
Carysfort was one of just six light cruisers listed as having a Turret Control Table in her T.S. in June 1918. If and when this was provided is uncertain.[13]
She was fitted with a director in January, 1918. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[14]
