HMS Comus (1914)

HMS Comus (1914)

HMS "Comus" was a C-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy. She was part of the "Caroline" group of the C-class of cruisers.

She was laid down on 13 November 1913, launched 16 December 1914 and commissioned into the navy on 15 May 1915. She was assigned to the Grand Fleet upon completion, and then went on to sink the German raider "Grief" on 29 February 1916. She was a member of the 4th Light Cruiser Squadron along with her sister ship HMS "Caroline" at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. She survived the battle and the war, but was considered obsolete before the outbreak of the Second World War and was sold for scrap on 28 July, 1931 to Ward, of Barrow.
