Reference books for First World War British cruisers

What reference work covers Royal Navy cruisers of the First World War with plans and specifications?

Start with Norman Friedman's British cruiser volume, and look for John Lambert's older book as a second reference.

Norman Friedman's British cruiser work covers Victorian and First World War ships with line drawings, specifications, and photographs. It is the closest equivalent to the Raven and Roberts references requested for an earlier cruiser generation. John Lambert also produced a useful volume, although its age and availability may make it harder to obtain. Together, the recommendations give readers a practical starting point for detailed design research.
