The 6th Cruiser Squadron [1] was a formation of cruisers of the British Royal Navy from 1909 to 1915 and again from 1925 to 1945.

The Royal Navy's cruiser squadrons usually contained a maximum of five to six ships but down but sometimes as low as two to three ships. Between 1914 and 1925, they were designated Light Cruiser Squadrons, and after 1925 re-designated Cruiser Squadrons.[2]

First formation

The squadron was established in March 1909. In September 1910, it was attached to the Mediterranean Fleet until April 1912. In May 1912, the 6th Cruiser Squadron was renamed the Mediterranean Cruiser Squadron.[3] The squadron was then reassigned as the 6th Cruiser Squadron to the Second Fleet between May 1912 and July 1914.[4]
