Named after the god of sleep, it was based on a project to modernize the British Navy's Dido-class and Edinburgh-class light cruisers. Originally planned to be equipped with 133mm naval guns, but because their lower firing rate could not cope with the threat posed by the rapid development of aviation technology in the late World War II, all naval guns were replaced with 113mm RP10MarkIV naval guns. After the war, this naval gun became the standard main gun caliber for British naval destroyers. The Somnus class would replace the rear torpedo set, equip a more advanced anti-aircraft gun set, and add anti-aircraft firepower and electronics.
