HMS Hawkins was the lead ship of the Hawkins-class heavy cruisers, built for the Royal Navy during World War I. Conceived in 1915 as a response to German commerce raiders, she was designed to be fast, have long endurance, and be heavily armed with 7.5-inch guns – larger than those on contemporary British light cruisers. Although launched in 1917, she entered service in 1919, after the war had ended.
