Fargo-class cruiser
The ''Fargo''-class cruisers were a modified version of the previous design; the main difference was a more compact pyramidal superstructure with single trunked funnel, intended to improve the arcs of fire of the anti-aircraft (AA) guns. The same type of modification differentiated the and es of heavy cruisers.〔Norman Friedman, ''U.S. Cruisers, An Illustrated Design History'' 1984 ISBN 978-0-87021-718-0〕 Changes were made to order to reduce the instability of the Cleveland-class light cruisers, especially their tendency to roll dangerously.〔James J. Fahey, "Pacific War Diary, 1942-1945: The Secret Diary of an American Sailor" 1972 ISBN 978-0395640227〕 The main battery turrets sat about a foot lower and the wing gunhouses (the 5 inch, twin gun mounts on the sides of the ship) were lowered to the main deck. The medium (40 mm) anti-aircraft mounts were also lowered.〔http://www.world-war.co.uk/US/fargo_class.php3〕
In all, 13 ships of the class were planned but only and were ever completed, the rest being cancelled at varying states of completion with the de-escalation of World War II.〔M.J. Whitley, ''Cruisers Of World War Two, An International Encyclopedia'' 1995 ISBN 978-1-86019-874-8〕
''Fargo'', the lead ship of the class, was launched on 25 February 1945, but was not commissioned until 9 December 1945, shortly after the war ended. ''Huntington'' was commissioned early in 1946. The two ships were decommissioned in 1949-1950, and never reactivated.
