D-class light cruiser

A D-class light cruiser is a type of military naval ship designed for versatility and speed rather than heavy firepower or armor. It typically features a smaller size and lighter weapons compared to larger cruisers, making it suitable for reconnaissance, escort duties, and rapid response. These ships often navigate closer to coastlines or in support roles, providing quick strike capabilities and mobility. They balance offensive and defensive systems to engage various threats efficiently, serving as agile, adaptable units within a navy’s fleet.
