Town-class cruisers for Australia and Poland

If the Royal Australian Navy acquired six Town-class light cruisers in the 1930s, which batch would they likely be, and what could Poland do with two Town-class cruisers?

He expects British-built Gloucester-subclass ships rather than Edinburghs, while two Polish Towns could raid effectively and use their torpedoes in the Mediterranean but could not fight battleships directly.

The answer separates design availability from a preference for the largest Town-class variant. A 1930s Australian order would most likely receive the second batch, especially Gloucester-subclass ships, although Southamptons were possible; construction would take place in Britain. Two Polish Town-class cruisers could create considerable operational trouble and exploit their torpedoes in Mediterranean raiding or maneuver. They would not give Poland ships capable of taking on battleships directly. Procurement timing and yard location therefore shaped the missions a small cruiser force could realistically attempt.
