This list of cruisers of the United States Navy includes all ships that were ever called "cruiser". Since the nomenclature predates the hull numbering system, and there were several confusing renumberings and renamings, there are multiple entries referring to the same physical ship. A * following the entry indicates a ship that was canceled before completion. Ships in bold saw combat service. A † indicates a ship lost to enemy action. CA-1, CA-6 and CA-10 were never used, as ACR-1 ''Maine'', ACR-6 ''California/San Diego'' and ACR-10 ''Tennessee/Memphis'' were sunk prior to the 1920 redesignation, and their sisters' original hull numbers were carried over. CA-20 through CA-23 were skipped with the merger of the CA and CL sequences, which allowed the reclassification of the Washington Treaty CL's as CA's without re-numbering. Heavy cruisers CA-149 and CA-151 to CA-153, and light cruisers CL-154 to CL-159 were canceled before being named. CG-15 was skipped so the ''Leahy''-class guided missile frigates (DLG-16 class) could be redesignated without renumbering. The other missing numbers in the guided-missile cruiser series, 43–46, were not used so that DDG-47 ''Ticonderoga'' and DDG-48 ''Yorktown'' could be similarly redesignated. (It has been argued in some sources that the DDG-993 guided missile destroyers, which were essentially identically armed to the s, should have been redesignated CG-43 through −46.) CG-1 through 8 and CG-10 through 12 were converted from World War II cruisers. CAG-1 USS ''Boston'' and CAG-2 USS ''Canberra'' retained most of their original gun armament and were later returned to their gun cruiser designations CA-69 and CA-70. Before 30 June 1975, CG-16 USS ''Leahy'' through CGN-38 USS ''Virginia'' were designated DLG or DLGN (Guided Missile Frigate (Nuclear powered)). They were redesignated cruisers in the 1975 ship reclassification. CGN-39 USS ''Texas'' and CGN-40 USS ''Mississippi'' were laid down as DLGNs but redesignated CGN before commissioning. CG-47 ''Ticonderoga'' and CG-48 ''Yorktown'' were ordered as guided missile destroyers (DDG) but were redesignated to guided missile cruisers (CG) before any ship was laid down. CGN-9 ''Long Beach'', CGN-41 ''Arkansas'' and CG-49 through 73 were ordered, laid down and delivered as guided missile cruisers. ''Long Beach'' was the only cruiser since World War II built on a true "cruiser hull", and for over ten years was the only new-build guided missile cruiser in the fleet. , only CG-52 through CG-73 remain in active service.
