USS Honolulu (CL-48)
USS ''Honolulu'' (CL-48) of the United States Navy was a light cruiser active in the Pacific War (World War II). Honolulu was launched in 1937 and commissioned in 1938. The ship served in the battle of Tassafaronga, the Battle of Kula Gulf, the battle of Kolombangara and the battle of Peleliu. She was taken out of action and seriously damaged by a torpedo just prior to the battle of Leyte Gulf. She received repairs and was modernized, but did not return to the Pacific war. She was decommissioned in 1947 and was held in reserve until she was scrapped in 1959.
== Inter-war period ==
The second Navy ship named for the city of Honolulu, Hawaii, she was launched on 26 August 1937 at the New York Navy Yard, sponsored by Helen Poindexter (the daughter of Joseph B. Poindexter, the Governor of Hawaii), and commissioned on 15 June 1938, with Captain Oscar Smith in command.
After a shakedown cruise to England, ''Honolulu'' engaged in fleet problems and exercises in the Caribbean Sea. She steamed from New York on 24 May 1939 to join the Pacific Fleet, arriving at San Pedro, California on 14 June. For the remainder of the year, she engaged in exercises along the West Coast. During the first half of 1940, ''Honolulu'' continued operations out of Long Beach, California and after an overhaul at the Puget Sound shipyard, she steamed out of Long Beach Naval Shipyard on 5 November for duty from Pearl Harbor. She operated there through 1941, and she was moored at the Naval Station when the Japanese launched their attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. ''Honolulu'' suffered only minor hull damage from a near miss.〔
