Hms Scylla and Hms Charybdis were Dido class criuser's also they were sister ships.

HMS Scylla was a Dido-class cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was built by Scotts Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. (Greenock, Scotland) , with the keel being laid down on 19 April 1939. She was launched on 24 July 1940, and commissioned 12 June 1942.
One of two sisters (the other was, appropriately, Charybdis, Scylla was originally completed with four twin 4.5 in Mk III in UD MK III mountings because of a shortage of 5.25 in mountings.
The forward superstructure was considerably modified to accommodate these and also to increase crew spaces. Naturally they were known as the 'toothless terrors', but proved much better anti-aircraft ships than their sisters armed with the more cumbersome and less satisfactory 5.25 in AA guns.



HMS Scylla served with the Home Fleet on Arctic convoy duties until she sailed for Gibraltar on 28 October 1942. The following month she was at the French North Africa landings (Operation Torch) as part of Force "O" with the Eastern Task Force, but in December was sent into the Bay of Biscay as part of the effort to catch homecoming Axis blockade runners.
On 1 January 1943 she intercepted the German Rhakotis some 200 miles north-west of Cape Finisterre in position 45.01° N 10.50° W, when the Scylla opened fire the Germans scuttled the ship. In February she returned to the Home Fleet for Arctic convoys, but was back in the Bay of Biscay by June 1943 to cover anti-submarine operations.
In September 1943 she was part of the Support Carrier Force at the Salerno landings (Operation Avalanche), but came home to refit for duty as an Escort Carrier Flagship in October, which lasted until April 1944. She was present at the Normandy landings as Flagship of the Eastern Task Force.
On 23 June 1944 she was badly damaged by a mine and declared a Constructional Total Loss. Although towed to Portsmouth, she was not disposed of until 1950, after being used in the ship target trials between 1948 to 1950. She arrived at Thomas W Ward Ltd, (Barrow-in-Furness, UK) in 4 May 1950 for breaking up.
There you go BBW

exactly.....
HMS Scylla & HMS Charybdis
Dido class - rearmed 8 x 114 mm (4.5) (eg. HMS Ark Royal main A-A artilery)
114mm (4.5'') shell = 24.95KG / range max. 18 196m
133mm (5.25") shell = 38.5kG / range max. 21 400M

German large destroyers uses 127mm (5") main artilery or 150mm (~6")
This very problematic sucesful fight against this destroyers..
Generaly good A-A Cruisers - no efective armament anty ships....
