message: Please can anyone tell me where this information of classes came from, because WW1 and WW2 C Class crusiers are completely different. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MiniEntente (talk • contribs) .
:Yes, they were substantially refitted in the 1930s/40s, but they were the same ships at heart ;-). Are you perhaps mistaking the C class cruisers for the C class destroyer (1943)? Please see  and . for further clarification. SoLando (Talk) 21:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, looking further into this, it appears you are correct. I believe I got the impression that all of these classes were encompassed under one C class by glancing only briefly at the Warships1 site (i.e. I overlooked some obvious differences in the specifications :-() Thank you for raising this, MiniEntente!

thread_title:  Classes problem 

message: I don't know this class but "Their main armament consisted of eight 4 inch guns in four triple turrets with.." appears to be wrong, four triples gives a total of 12 guns not 8. If the standard twin 4" mounting was used, should this line read "four twin turrets" or if it really was four triples,the total number of guns should be amended to 12. As I said, I don't know this class and do not have a handy reference to make the correction, so can someone who does or has, please do so.Koonan the almost civilised 08:51, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, seems to be a mistake.  They carried eight 4 inch guns in double turrets.  I'll correct this in the article.  Benea 08:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Carlisle'' class guns 

message: Text states they carried 16 3 inch guns as AA cruiser, the box on the right states 16 2-pounders. I suspect 16 2-pounders is correct, as 16 3-inch 20 cwt guns would not have fitted on board. Rcbutcher (talk) 14:28, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ceres class as AA cruiser

message: I'm curious why such a variety of designs (which evolved considerably over time) are grouped under a superclass.  Documents contemporary to their construction (e.g.: Handbooks of fire control instruments 1901 and 1914, Annual Reports of the Torpedo School, etc) do not identify a "C" class of any form.  The page is cumbersome and lengthy and filled with information that seems out of place.  For instance, the top-right-most table of general characteristics... to which "subclass: is it meant to refer, at at what point in their career?  The armament it describes (5 6-in) is quite different from those given the first two subclasses it is most proximate to on the page originally (8 4-in and 2 6-in).Conways 1906-1921  The effort to group these similar classes seems to add to the confusion and complicate the cleanup options.

thread_title: Is C class a strong enough family?

message: the first table refers to the whole C class but reports the features of the first two subgroups only (in particular for the guns). It should be split in a general section and in a first-subgroup only one. 
the 12/4 in guns of Caledon seems to me excessive; lenton-colledge states 8 and giorgerini 6
also the 16 3-inchers of Coventry/Curlew sound excessive; lenton-colledge says 16 2-pounders

thread_title:  comments 

message: I think this article can be improved and perhaps shortened by adding 2 tables. one table to list all ships and their related classes/ dates - perhaps see the DDG-51 Arleight Burke calls for its table listing ships and dates to get an idea. 2nd table -list each subclasses and the differences.
