H.M.S. Caledon was launched in 1916 — one of four light cruisers of her class.
Torpedoes
In mid-1920, it was ordered that Caledon should replace her 21-in Mark IV S.L. torpedoes with their Mark IV* version.[8]
Alterations
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.[9]
