Two classes of cruiser of the Royal Navy are known as the Arethusa class:
- The Arethusa class of eight light cruisers built in 1912–1914 that served in World War I.
- The Arethusa class of four light cruisers built in 1934–1936 that served in World War II.
Famous quotes containing the word class:
“The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
