HMS Chester was a Town-class light cruiser of the Royal Navy, one of two ships forming the Birkenhead subtype. Along with sister ship, Birkenhead, she was originally ordered for the Greek Navy in 1914 and was to be named Lambros Katsonis. The order was placed with Cammell Laird and production continued for the Greek account after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914. In 1915 the two cruisers were purchased by the British government. She fought at the Battle of Jutland where casualties included John 'Jack' Cornwell who was awarded the highest honour, aged 16.

  • チェスター (HMS Chester) は、イギリス海軍の軽巡洋艦。タウン級軽巡洋艦の一隻。艦名はチェシャー州のチェスターに因む。その名を持つ艦としては4隻目。 当初は1914年にギリシャ海軍によって発注された2隻の軽巡洋艦の内の1隻であり、「ランブロス・カトソニス (Lambros Katsonis)」と命名される予定であった。2隻の建造は継続されたが、1915年にイギリス政府によって購入された。 両艦の装備は当時のイギリス軍艦艇といくつかの面で異なっていた。主砲はコヴェントリー兵器廠で新たに開発された5.5インチ(140mm)砲が採用された。この砲はイギリス軍標準の6インチ砲より大幅に軽量化され、6インチ砲で使用された100ポンド砲弾に代わって85ポンド砲弾が使用された。また、当時最新であった油圧機構が採用された。 (ja)
