Minotaur — U.K. Tech Tree Tier X Cruiser.

The design process of a light cruiser continued in 1946 and resulted in a project with a dual-purpose 152 mm twin-gun mount. The new project was to carry four or five such mounts instead of four triple-gun ones. In 1947, the final draft of a five-turret version was presented; it was similar to the U.S. Worcester-class cruisers in terms of combat characteristics. The lead ship of a series of six cruisers of this class was to be named Minotaur; however, amid financial problems and the priority given to aircraft carriers, the project was revised.
