Baltimore-class cruiser
The ''Baltimore''-class cruiser (and the three ship ''Oregon City'' sub-class) was a type of heavy cruiser in the United States Navy from the last years of World War II. Fast and heavily armed, ships like the ''Baltimore'' cruisers were mainly used by the Navy in World War II to protect the fast aircraft carriers in carrier battle groups. With their strong anti-aircraft armament, ''Baltimore''s could contribute especially in air defenses of these battle groups. Additionally, their 8-inch main guns and smaller medium guns were regularly used to bombard land targets in support of amphibious landings. After the war, only ''St Paul'', ''Macon'', ''Toledo'', ''Columbus'', ''Bremerton'', ''Helena'', ''Albany'', and ''Rochester'' remained in service, while the rest were moved to the reserve fleet. All except ''Boston'', ''Canberra'', ''Chicago'' and ''Fall River'' were reactivated for the Korean War. By 1971, all ships remaining in the original design configuration were decommissioned, and started showing up in the scrap-sale lists. However, five ''Baltimore''-class cruisers were refitted and converted into some of the first guided missile cruisers in the world, becoming the three and two cruisers. The last of these was decommissioned in 1980, with the ''Chicago'' and ''Albany'' lasting until 1991 in reserve. No example of the ''Baltimore'' class still exists.
