	USS Long Beach (CGN-9) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was the first "all-new" cruiser designed and constructed after World War II (all others were completions or conversions of cruisers begun or completed during the war).
		The Long Beach served in the Atlantic Fleet from her commissioning in 1961 until completing her first refueling in early 1966, when the cruiser was transferred from the homeport of Norfolk, Virginia to Long Beach, California.
		During this initial cruise, this cruiser served primarily as the Positive Identification Radar Advisory Zone (PIRAZ) unit in the northern Gulf of Tonkin.

	Cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Against the German pocket battleship (heavy cruiser) Graf Spee one heavy and two light British cruisers were able to split the fire of her heavier guns and although damaged, trail her to port where she was subsequently scuttled rather than risk battle again.
		Cruisers were also attached to the main battlefleet and used for reconnaissance, sweeping ahead of the fleet looking for the enemy.
		Light cruisers were defined to be armed with 6.1 in (155 mm) guns or smaller and heavy cruisers to be armed with larger calibers, 8 in (203 mm) being particularly common.

	Long Beach class cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Long Beach class cruiser is a single-ship class (sole member, USS Long Beach (CGN-9), ex-CGN-160, ex-CLGN-160) of the United States Navy.
		The class is noted as the the world's first nuclear-powered surface combatant, and the last cruiser built in the US Navy to a cruiser design; all subsequent cruiser classes were built on scaled-up destroyer hulls.
		The keel of the USS Long Beach was laid by Bethlehem Steel on 2 December 1957 at the Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts.

	[No title]
		The first nuclear-powered surface warship in history, LONG BEACH was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet and home ported at Norfolk, Va. The guided-missile cruiser conducted extensive shakedown testing of her complex weapons and propulsion systems from 2 October to 16 December 1961; her superlative performance proved the nuclear cruiser a highly capable and effective warship.
		LONG BEACH returned to Norfolk from this triumph 3 October to join in exercises off the east coast and in the Caribbean.
		LONG BEACH arrived back at the west coast on 4 July where, after a well deserved period of rest, she resumed the exercises and operations which would keep her well prepared for her return to Vietnam the following year.

	R.D.F. Tiger class Ocean Battlecruiser
		The Tiger class carries four Mk 41 VLS with two forward of the main superstructure on a raised deck and four aft of the hanger and helicopter pad.
		The length of the heavy strike cruisers are virtually identical to that of the Long Beach but the new vessel has a wider beam for greater stability.
		Long range missiles are normally used against large targets and aircraft further out where the medium range missiles will normally be used to engage closer targets.

	Appendix (USS Explorer II Technical Manual)
		Modern cruisers are designed solely for carrier escort and have the most sophisticated anti-ship and anti-aircraft weapons available in the world.
		As American destroyers begin to take on more capabilities of cruisers, the only real distinction between destroyers and cruisers is that destroyers are often commanded by someone holding the rank of commander, while cruisers are commanded by those holding the rank of captain.
		Cruisers occupied the middle ranks to offer another layer of protection to the battleships at the core of the fleet and the battleships were given the task of obliterating the enemy's battleships.

	USS Long Beach, CGN-9 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		USS Long Beach (CGN-9) was the first nuclear powered surface warship in the world and the first large combatant in the US Navy with its main battery consisting of guided missiles.
		She was also the first American cruiser since the end of World War II to built entirely new from the keel up, and, when completed, boasted the highest bridge in the world.

	United States Nuclear Cruisers
		Long Beach was the worlds first nuclear powered surface ship.
		At the time, guns were considered obsolete, and Long Beach was built without guns, which was later realised to be a mistake and rectified.
		Based almost entirely on the Leahy class, and mounting the same weapons, the Bainbridge is slower, due to the reduced output of her nuclear plant.

	sci.military.naval FAQ, Part F - Surface Combatants
		Long Beach (CGN 9), the oldest nuclear cruiser, was decommissioned in 1994, primarily due to age.
		In general, these cruisers are dual-role offensive/defensive ships, operating as defensive screens for major fleet units against enemy cruisers, hunting commerce raiders, raiding commerce themselves, offensive surface combatants, and served as flagships for squadrons of smaller cruisers.
		The collision caused major fires aboard the cruiser, and her aluminum superstructure essentially melted; she was reduced to a badly burnt hulk.

	J/109 Class Association
		This was the first time the 35 foot J/109s had raced in their own Class at Cork; the largest one-design Class on the water this year.
		The J/109s are all the like for like or ‘one-design’, and this means that the first boat to cross the finish line wins the race and that there is no complicated handicap system to be applied after the race has been sailed.
		Add to this the fact that the Class is wide open in terms of a favourite to win the regatta, and it’s easy to understand why the J/109 fleet will be the one to watch this year.

		You could go to the beach for a year and a half; then, returning with an enviable tan, you could buy a machine twice as fast as anything on the market now, so that you would still finish after a total of three years.
		Bender, Clifford and Tsichlas consider a slightly different and more-general class of tasks—not necessarily computations—whose shared trait is that the rate of progress toward a conclusion is nonconstant; instead, the pace of work accelerates as a deadline approaches.
		For a problem in NP, you may or not be able to find a solution efficiently, but if a candidate solution is dropped in your lap, you can quickly test its correctness; even this limited ability is not guaranteed for the procrastinating scheduler (or the scheduling procrastinator).

	USS Texas (CGN 39)
		When she arrived at PSNS the first action that took place was the removal of the ship's superstructures and since PSNS does not own a dock large enough for two VIRGINIA-class cruisers, a 100 foot long part of the stern of TEXAS was also removed.
		The hull on the portside of the TEXAS is from the USS LONG BEACH (CGN 9) which was the first nuclear powered surface ship in the US Navy.
		TEXAS' third deployment was with the USS CARL VINSON Battle Group, and included an around the world cruise which allowed her to visit every inhabited continent except South America and sail all the oceans except the Arctic.
