My first problem with this ship is its type. Is it a Cruiser, Destroyer or Auxiliary?
Classed as a gunnery training ship.
She could lay mines, 250 or 350 I have seen in sources, but I'm not sure she ever did so.
She mostly acted as an escort to minelayers and cargo ships, along with her training duties.
She was part of Group III that assaulted Bergen during the invasion of Norway April 1940, and was carrying troops for that invasion.
1870 tons, 29 knots, 4 x 127mm, 4 x 37mm, 2-8 x 20mm. Some sources give her 30mm belt and 25mm deck armour.
Due to her stats, classification, and wartime usage, I can see all three types could be appropriate. But which one?
