Sirius was originally built with 10 x 5.25 inch and 5 x 20mm single mountings.
As most vessels added anti-aircraft weapons during their service this changed as the war progressed.
Some warships were built to very tight limits, so too much weight added later affected their stability. This class of warship was one of those.
By April 1945 she had 10 x 5.25, 2 x 40mm and 5 x 20mm guns. Very little change from 1942.
