During my recent patrols near the end of 1941 the Brits have decided to start escorting most convoys of substantial size with a Dido or Fiji. As I see it, these are light cruisers. However, my light cruiser and my shiny new aircraft carrier seem to be completely unable to sink one of these things by gun fire. I have expended 50% of my ammo stores and only managed to disable the Dido's guns and cause the Fiji's guns to rotate in my direction. Sure, I can make mean looking damage until you can't see the side of the boat anymore, but that's about it.

What kind of armor do British light cruisers have and where do I get some? Oh, and what size guns do I need to blow them out of the water?
