The Town class was too big and expensive to play the same main roles of the Leander and Arethusa classes(trade protection and foreign station service). La Argentina wasn't(it was getting a bit big for the role, though, which is why I feel that the equivalent of La Argentina must not be too big).La Argentina was an enlarged and improved derivative of the Arethusa class with a considerable increase in firepower thanks to the adoption of triple turrets.
The Town class is her direct counterpart in Royal Navy service, an enlarged and improved successor to the Arethusa class with a considerable increase in firepower thanks to the adoption of triple turrets.
