Wallpaper Description:
HMS Lion was a light cruiser of the British Royal Navy, originally ordered in 1942 as one of the Minotaur-class and laid down that same year as Defence by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company at Greenock in Scotland on 6 June 1942
Partially complete, Lion was launched on 2 September 1944 by Lady Edelson, but work was suspended in 1946.
