The surviving cruisers of the First World War era

Georgios Averof, Aurora, and Olympia broaden the surviving-cruiser list beyond HMS Caroline.

Question

Which First World War-era cruisers survive besides HMS Caroline?

Short answer

Georgios Averof, Russia's Aurora, and the United States' Olympia are the other examples named.

Notes

Georgios Averof, Aurora, and USS Olympia are named alongside HMS Caroline as surviving cruisers from the First World War era. Aurora belongs to the earlier Russo-Japanese War generation. She also survived the Battle of Tsushima. The examples therefore include ships whose careers had already begun before the First World War.
