By 1916, a project for an upgraded Ceres had been developed: The dimensions of the ship increased, which allowed for the placement of an additional gun and the replacement of the torpedo launchers with triple-tube ones. The first ship of the type—HMS Danae—entered service in June 1918. In 1919, she participated in the intervention of the British Fleet in the Baltic. Between 1940 and 1942, the ship operated in the Far East. She returned to Great Britain after repairs in 1943 and then supported the landing of Allied troops in Normandy. In 1944, Danae was transferred to the Polish Navy and renamed Conrad.
