Playable figi class like cruiser.They served with distinction during the Second World War. Jamaica took part in a number of operations, including driving off the heavy cruisers Hipper and Lützow in 1942, the sinking of the Scharnhorst in 1943, and escorting carrier air attacks on the Tirpitz in 1944. Fiji was lost in 1941, and Trinidad the following year. The survivors continued in service after the war, taking part in further actions, such as the Korean War. Ceylon was later sold to Peru, being renamed Coronel Bolognesi, along with Newfoundland, which was renamed Almirante Grau. These two ships were decommissioned by 1982. Nigeria was also sold, to India being renamed INS Mysore. The ship was heavily used from the time of her transfer until the late 1970s, but then converted to a harbour training ship by 1979. She was decommissioned by 1984 and then scrapped in 1985, and as such she was the longest lived (41 years) member of her class.
All ships of the Crown Colony-class were decommissioned from active service with the Royal Navy 1962 and began being sold for scrap, though HMS Bermuda was fully operational during 1961 and sometimes ventured to sea in 1962 as flagship of the reserve fleet. Gambia had being reduced to reserve in December 1960 and Ceylon and Newfoundland sold to Peru a year earlier. During the 1950s the larger Towns were usually regarded as more habitable and comfortable in patrolling in the tropics and far east, though they were being retired by and then sold for scrap by 1960, except for Sheffield (being retired from sea-going service in 1958 and maintained as a reserve headquarters ship) and Belfast which stayed in active seaworthy service until 1963. Sheffield and Belfast were in semi maintained reserved, and were probably capable of reactivation as late as 1964-66. This cannot be said of the last Colony class cruisers, which were seriously deteriorating due to being in an unmaintained extended reserve status many years before the last ship; HMS Gambia, was sold for scrap in 1968. None of them were the last cruisers of the Royal Navy however. That honour went to Blake, a modified Tiger-class cruiser, which was decommissioned in 1980: the last classic WW2 cruiser design to serve in the Royal Navy.

Thank you a very nice playable ship, the Gambia was commissioned to the RNZ Navy and ser:saluteved with distinction in the Pacific as HMNZS Gambia for the record if you didnt no.I think it is probably the best looking playable model in the game
