HMS Birmingham

HMS Birmingham was the lead ship of the Birmingham group of three ships of the Town-class light cruisers built by the Royal Navy shortly before the start of the First World War in 1914. Her sister ships were Lowestoft and Nottingham. The three ships were virtually identical to the third group of Town-class ships, but with an additional 6 in (152 mm) gun worked in on the forecastle.
