  USS Galveston (CL-19) - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
She arrived on station 14 July 1919 and broke the flag of Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol; transported refugees and American Red Cross officials to Constantinople from the Russian ports of Novorossiysk and Theodosia; and carried Rear Admiral Newton A. McCully from Theodosia to Yalta.
Thereafter much of her time was spent cruising between that-port and Balboa to cooperate with the State Department in the restoration and preservation of order, and to insure the protection of American lives and property in Central America.
She resumed her watchful cruises between Balboa and Corinto until 19 May 1930 when she transited the Panama Canal for a last courtesy visit to Galveston (24-31 May) before inactivation overhaul in the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

 Class Statistics Board
In many ways there are too many classes here to seem sensible, it's just that somehow Starfleet have constructed 80,000 ships since its founding (due to the ship registries we know) and rather than have certain classes having thousands of ships, I was more comfortable with explaining this with a large number of classes...
If the amounts of ships figure is in brackets, it indicates that further vessels in that class are planned, and the current number is only provisional, this obviously is only pertinent to 24th century classes still under construction.
Final power values given are a fair indication of that class' actual armour and hitpoints capability, and a ship whose power is 100, is there or thereabouts ten times as powerful as a ship that is rated at 10.
