	Boston class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1968 both Boston class guided missile heavy cruisers were reclassified back to heavy cruisers (CAs), in part due to the extensive use of their 8-inch guns for shore bombardment during the Vietnam War.
		While they had retained their Terrier missiles, the swift advance of technology had made these pioneering weapons obsolete after little more than a dozen years' service, and the ships' main battery were once again their six remaining 8-inch guns in the forward turrets.
		In 1970 both Boston class ships were decommissioned for the final time, eventually stricken from the Naval Vessel Register, and sold for scrap.

		They were built due to the limitations that the Washington Treaty imposed on cruisers, that they should not exceed 10,000 tons, and were basically smaller derivatives of the Town_class cruiser, though only slightly.
		Due to the size of the Crown Colony class, a number of the ships had to have one of their main turrets removed to allow 40 mm Bofors anti_aircraft guns to be added.
		That honour went to Blake, a modified Tiger_class cruiser, which was decommissioned in 1979, seemingly the last ever cruiser to be in the Royal Navy.

	Truman-class Heavy Cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Not unlike the Constitution class heavy cruisers, the Truman's were designed to operate independently or as a part of an exploration task force, able to operate on their own with out supporting vessels.
		Since this class of vessels is often called upon to perform a variety of missions, they've received the latest in stealth packages, making them as ideal as flagships in task force operations.
		The forward firing photorp system is located on the underside of the primary hull, which necessitated relocation of crew quarters on decks four and five for storage of photorps, as well as the need for the relocation of shielded arming tunnels from the outboard engineering sections to relay anti-matter for the arming of the photorps.

	USS Canberra (CA-70) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Canberra (CA-70, ex-CAG-2, ex-CA-70) was a Baltimore class heavy cruiser laid down by the Bethlehem Steel Company Fore River Shipyard at Quincy in Massachusetts on 3 September 1941, launched on 19 April 1943 by Lady Alice C. Dixon and commissioned on 14 October 1943.
		Initially the cruiser was to be named Pittsburgh, but the name Canberra was chosen instead in honor of the Australian cruiser HMAS Canberra which was severely damaged by gunfire and torpedoes from Japanese warships and subsequently sunk by USN warships at the Battle of Savo Island on 9 August 1942.
		In 1952 she was towed to the New York Shipbuilding Corporation at Camden in New Jersey for conversion to a Boston class guided missile armed heavy cruiser.

	Heavy cruiser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A heavy cruiser is a type of large warship which originated during World War I, when Great Britain started to build new, more powerful class of cruiser, which entered service after the war.
		A weakness of heavy cruisers was usually too weak armour, caused by tonnage limits, not sufficient against heavy guns.
		The last heavy cruisers were built during World War II, and ultimately resulted in the Alaska class which were often erroneously referred to as battlecruisers because of their size and armament.

		This sleek cruiser is the sixth ship to bear the name of the Massachusetts capital and represents the most modern developments in the building of men-of-war.
		Slipping smoothly through Atlantic waters, the Boston began her maiden voyage and on August 13 1943 was in route to the Gulf of Paria, between Trinidad and Venezuela, for the shakedown cruise designed to accustom her crew to the sea and enable officers to detect any possible wrinkles in her makeup.
		Guam was the first stop on what was to be one of the longest cruises of her career, and also one of the most vital missions of the entire war --- the attack on the Marianas.

	USS Boston
		The fifth Boston, a protected cruiser, was launched 4 December 1884 by John Roach and Sons, Chester, Pa., and commissioned 2 May 1887, Captain F. Ramsey in command.
		Boston, being the second cruiser of the New Navy completed, was not ready for active service until 1888.

	Class History
		The development of the new lighter weight Mk32 twin inch mount originally designed as secondary AA armament for battleships and cruisers, suggested that a modern electrically driven turret system was now at hand with which to create an effective six-gunned destroyer.
		Swiftly sent on shakedown cruises crews soon complained about overcrowding, a typical wartime occurrence owing to the number of guns and gear added after the platform had been settled upon.
		Departing Boston for her first wartime cruise on 8 May, she took her place as a convoy escort bound for Plymouth, England.

	Cleveland class
		The Cleveland class was born with the need to increase both range and AA armament in mind.
		This class was exceptionally large; a total of 39 ships were projected, and could have been built without major problems.
		This class was well protected against torpedo and mine hits through a well sub-divided hull, which also had no openings as on the earlier cruiser classes.

	Baltimore class
		The Baltimore class was the last war-time heavy cruiser class, and certainly the first heavy cruisers that were properly armoured and protected, at least in the U.S. This class looked a lot like the Cleveland class, but its construction was delayed because the light cruisers received more attention.
		However, this class was already benefitting from the availability of 127mm L/38 twin mounts, and radar proximity granades for the same.
		With the powerful AA armament, of course larger than that of the Cleveland class, thanks to a larger hull, these ships proved to be secondary in their AA performance only to the fast battleships.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The consensus of opinion seems to be that the "battle cruiser" was misconceived -- neither fish nor fowl: too much of a battleship to be relegated to cruiser tasks, but too little of a battleship to be hazarded in the line-of-battle.
		These cruisers all began to look like miniature battleships and, indeed, it was they that had the speed and range to form lines of battle in most of the significant surface engagements of the Pacific War.
		This, without regard to the tonnage, was then called a "light cruiser." The Japanese therefore immediately planned a class of ships, just as large as the "heavy" cruisers, but with fifteen 6 inch guns, in triple turrets, instead of ten 8 inch guns, in double turrets.

		With the DD 692 SUMNER class continuing to be overloaded with anti-aircraft capabilities to protect the carrier forces, the resulting effect was a lack of speed and required range.
		Of the 98 commissioned GEARING class destroyers, 47 retained their DD classification prior to FRAM with three being disqualified due to having been modified for improved steam machinery testing (TIMMERMAN), advances in missile technologies (GYATT) and testing of an advanced propulsion system (WITEK).
