The HML Evesham, a Defender-class Armoured Cruiser.

Overview

Armoured Cruisers make up the bulk of the battle fleets of most nations, and serve as flagships for some smaller navies. They lead smaller squadrons, but need a light cruiser or destroyer escort to avoid being outmaneovered.

Characteristics

Typically slower and more heavily armored than their similarly-sized Light Cruiser cousins, Armoured Cruisers live up to their name. Mounting much more armor and heavier weaponry, this type of cruiser isn't so much used for patrols and screening as it is to make up the core of a line of battle.
