HMS Calcutta (D82): A Pride of the British Navy in the 1920s This evocative photograph captures the HMS Calcutta (D82), a proud and formidable British C-class light cruiser, as she cuts through the waves of the open sea. Built in the early 1920s, the Calcutta was one of 15 cruisers of her class, which were designed to provide both defensive and offensive capabilities for the Royal Navy. The Calcutta's sleek lines and imposing presence are on full display in this image. Her distinctive funnel, adorned with the White Ensign and the pennant of the Commander-in-Chief, Home Fleet, stands tall against the sky. The ship's deck is bustling with activity, as sailors go about their duties, while others stand at attention, ready for action. The Calcutta was named after the historic city in India and saw active service during the interwar period, participating in various fleet exercises, naval reviews, and diplomatic missions. She played a key role in the defense of the British Empire during this time, and her crew took great pride in maintaining her in top condition. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the HMS Calcutta and the British Navy in the 1920s. It captures the spirit of a bygone era, when the sea was a vital theater of operations and the might of the Royal Navy was a source of national pride and security.
