H.M.S. Caledon was launched in 1916 — one of four light cruisers of her class.
Service
Caledon was fitted with a director in June, 1917. This alteration required her pole mast to be replaced with a tripod mast for greater rigidity.[8] Following successful tests in Yarmouth in June, 1917, Caledon was one of three other light cruisers to receive a flying-off platform on her forecastle for a Sopwith Pup some few weeks later.[9]
In May, 1919, Caledon was chosen as the flagship for a new Second Light Cruiser Squadron.
In mid-1920, it was ordered that Caledon should replace her 21-in Mark IV S.L. torpedoes with their Mark IV* version.[10]
Caledon re-commissioned at Chatham on 6 January, 1925.[11]
