+ | ===History=== | |||
+ | ||||
+ | ====Design==== | |||
+ | ||||
+ | HMAS ''Perth'' was designed and constructed as a modified ''[[Leander]]'' class light cruiser. The original design was intended to fulfill the desire for a cruiser armed with 152mm to serve with fleets. ''Perth'' was fitted with the same armament used on the ''Leander'' class. The primary difference between ''Perth'' and her older sister ships was the adoption of segmented machinery spaces. This allowed for the ship to continue operating should one engine room become inoperable. The main belt armor was subsequently lengthened to protect her larger machinery spaces and the beam of the ship was increased slightly to improve her stability. Two funnels were installed instead of a single funnel due to the split machinery spaces. This limited the space available on deck and prevented a seaplane catapult from being mounted when the ship was first being fitted out. She later received a shortened catapult for use with the Supermarine Seagull. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | ''Perth'' herself did not undergo many refits or modifications throughout her career. As completed, her 102mm guns were fitted in single mountings but this was changed to double mounts before she was transferred to the Royal Australian Navy. She also received several small caliber anti-aircraft guns. | |||
+ | ||||
+ | Though she saw service mostly in the Royal Australian Navy, Perth was built in the United Kingdom and commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS ''Amphion''. Her name was later changed when she was transferred to Australia. | |||

Perth — Commonwealth premium Tier VI cruiser.
This warship was built in the United Kingdom, based on a reworked design of Leander-class cruisers with a modified arrangement of the propulsion unit. She was similar to her prototype in terms of armament, but had a different armor layout. In 1939, the ship was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy.
