From a campaign of Rule the Waves 2

HMCS Cold Lake was a unique light cruiser built for the Canadian navy, being commissioned in 1921. As originally build Cold Lake was outfitted with 12 6" single mounts, 24 4" casemate mounts, and 12 above water torpedo tubes plus a forward mounted underwater torpedo tube.

She would serve for over a decade in said configuration, before going through a couple rebuilds, one extensive in the mid 1930s, which heavily modernized the cruiser into having 4x triple 6" turret and a set of twin dual-purpose 4" secondary turrets. At this point she fully resembled a typical cruiser of the time, although she had less armor than was desirable for the time.

This shows the cruiser in her 1946 refit, in which she fought the mid 1940s Canadian-German war and the Canadian-American war of the 1950s in. For these wars she was the oldest Canadian cruiser in frontline fleet service.
