Overview
As part of the development of cruisers for protecting trade routes, five projects were presented in 1923. All ships built under the chosen project had barely any armor. As a result, some of the cruisers received a full-fledged armored belt between 1936 and 1941. HMS Devonshire was laid down in 1926. With the outbreak of World War II, she served in the Home Fleet and participated in the hunt for German raiders and the Norwegian campaign, evacuating the Norwegian king. In 1942, the ship covered the landing of Allied troops in Madagascar and later escorted convoys to Australia.
