Overlooked this, sry. The black diagonal camouflage along the front of the bridge made me think of a destroyer, there are lots of those.
Larger than a corvette, no answer to the q. whether it is a cruiser yet

Following Cyborg322, light cruiser HMS »Diadem«? (And if it is Cyborg gets the win)

Cyborg! Cyborg! Cyborg!

"Put a name to this."
"HMS Dido"?

Catfish! Catfish! Catfish!
"Following Cyborg322, light cruiser HMS »Diadem«"?

Jimbuna! Jimbuna! Jimbuna!
"HMS Diadem, member of the Dido Class (Bellona sub group) of light cruisers".
