Cleveland-class cruiser
The U.S. Navy designed the ''Cleveland'' class of light cruisers for World War II with the goal of increased cruising range, anti-aircraft armament, torpedo protection, etc., compared with earlier U.S. cruisers.〔Norman Friedman, ''U.S. Cruisers, An Illustrated Design History'' 1984 ISBN 978-0-87021-718-0〕
52 light cruisers of this class were originally planned, but nine of them were completed as the light aircraft carriers of the , and two of them were completed to a somewhat different design, with more compact superstructures and just a single stack. These two were called the . Of the 27 ''Cleveland''-class cruisers that were commissioned, one () was completed as a guided missile cruiser and five were later modified as and -class guided missile cruisers. Following the naming convention at the time, all the ships completed as cruisers were named for U.S. cities and towns.〔M.J. Whitley, ''Cruisers Of World War Two, An International Encyclopedia'' 1995 ISBN 978-1-86019-874-8〕
The ''Cleveland''-class cruisers served mainly in the Pacific Fleet during World War II, especially in the Fast Carrier Task Force, but some of them served off the coasts of Europe and Africa in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. All of these warships, though hard worked in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, and in some cases heavily damaged in combat, survived the war. Except for , which remained in service until 1956, and the guided missile cruisers all of these cruisers were decommissioned by 1950. They suffered from increasing stability problems as anti-aircraft armament and additional radar was added during the war. None were recommissioned for the Korean War, as they required almost as large a crew as the ships, and those ships were reactivated instead. All non-converted ships were sold off from the reserve fleet for scrapping beginning in 1959. The six that were completed as or converted into guided missile cruisers were reactivated during the 1950s and then served into the 1970s. All particularly the Talos armed ships suffered from greater stability problems, than the original design, due to the extra radar and equipment and top weight, which was particularly severe in USS ''Galveston'', leading to its premature decommissioning in 1970 and and had to have a large amount of ballast and internal rearrangement to allow continued service in the 1970s.〔Those Cleveland Class Cruisers. An exercise in expediency in N.Wilder Post.' Sea Classics Oct 2013, V46, No 10', pp18-25 & 65〕 The last of these in service, ''Oklahoma City'', was decommissioned in December 1979.
Only one ''Cleveland''-class cruiser remains in existence. She is the guided missile cruiser ''Little Rock'', which is a museum ship along the Niagara River at Buffalo, New York, along with the , and the , .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ships )〕
