About the ship
In August 1933, given the construction of the Mogami-class ships in Japan, the development of light cruiser projects with four triple-gun main turrets commenced. Two cruisers were built under the 1936 program. HMS Edinburgh entered service in 1939 and then escorted convoys and participated in both the raid on the Lofoten Islands and the hunt for Bismarck. On April 20, 1942, Edinburgh took two torpedo hits while carrying $20 million for Lend-Lease. The ship was attacked while being towed to Murmansk. She was able to sink one German destroyer but was eventually destroyed.
