Portland class cruiser
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:USS Portland (CA-33).jpgThe Portland class of heavy cruisers consisted of just a pair of ships built by the United States Navy:
Originally ordered as Northampton class ships in the early 1930s, these cruisers used the same three triple-turret layout for their 8-inch guns, but mounted twice as many 5-inch guns (8 vs 4), and were somewhat heavier.
The Portlands were superseded by the New Orleans class.
