Heavy cruiser HMS Sussex as modernised for the Pacific war, 5 May 1945.

Sussex was refitted at Sheerness between June 1944 and March 1945. She landed X turret and her torpedo tubes. In return her radar suite was modernised and she was fitted with no less than 6 Octuple Pom Pom mounts, as well as 4 twin and 6 single 20mm Oerlikons.

Sussex is known for taking a kamikaze hit to her hull.

It should be noted that she had no armour belt (although her hull had been thickened to 1" to provide some limited protection against splinters and destroyers).
