By the early 1900's the line between armoured cruisers and protected cruisers had begun to become blurred. In 1900 the Admiralty determined that new built cruisers would be placed in their classifications depending on the amount of armour protection they had, the more heavily armoured being the AC's and lighter units being the PC's. The Bay class, having the lighter amount (4" max belts and main turret) they were placed in the PC classification.

The Bay class, while well armed, ended up slower than anticipated, reaching only 22 knots. A top speed of 25 knots had been requested and planned for, but space for the engines was insufficient at the designed dimensions and specifications so smaller engines had to be settled for. Even so, the actual top speed of 22 knots was adequate for fleet operations.

1938-41 Rebuilds
The Six-Weeks War of 1936 revealed an unfortunate, and new, reality with naval warfare - the advent of airpower. Navies on both sides of the conflict quickly realized that the anti air defences of their warships was whoafully inadequate. Beginning in 1937 ungrades to correct this deficiency were quickly planned, with virtually all major warships getting some manner of additional light AA weapons and, in many cases, new secondary armaments as well. Fire control was also substantionally upgraded.
In the case of the Jupiters, this was accomplished by significant rearming of all secondaries and light weapons. The 4 single 5.5" guns were replaced with the new 4.5"/45 enclosed twin mounts, and 40 and 20mm mounts were added wherever possible. Radar was also installed along with several light AA directors. New catapults were also added to accomodate newer aircraft.

Armament:
10 x 8"/50 (5 x 2)
8 x 4.5"/45 (4 x 2)
18 x 40mm (1 x 4; 7 x 2)
40 x 20mm (20 x 2)

Jupiter (1941)
Zeus (1940)
Osiris (1941)

The Odin was rebuilt differently and more extensively than her sisters. Heavily damaged aft during an air raid, it was determined to enlarge the aft hanger to allow for more floatplane capacity and #4 and #5 turrets were deemed irreperable from damage. Because of this battle damage, and a desire to return her to servicable condition as quickly as possible, she was the first of the Jupiters to complete the upgrades. Because of the rebuilt aft sections, her profile ended considerably different from her sisters, and some consider her a seperate class after 1938. Radar was added in a second, shorter, refit in 1941.

Armament:
6 x 8"/50 (3 x 2)
4 x 4.7"/45 (4 x 1)

Caribou Class (New Kandor Royal Navy; Royal Salish Navy)
The Caribous were ships of the Illustrious and Resolute classes transfered to the RNKN in 1931. Between 1934-37 they were extensively rebuilt as Light Cruiser/Destroyer Leaders along the same lines as the Enterprise rebuilds. The primary difference between the Caribous and Enterprises was the armament, the Caribous using license-built Aerigian 5"/38's in place of the Harberian 6"/50 twin mounts as used on the Enterprise and Lancer. The Bobcat (ex-Archer) was sold to the Salish Navy in 1936 while building and renamed Yucht. In addition, the Caribou and Lynx had their triple expansion engines replaced with geared turbines. All were recommissioned in 1938
