	USS Minneapolis (CA-36) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second USS Minneapolis (CA‑36) was laid down 27 June 1931 by Philadelphia Navy Yard; launched 6 September 1933; sponsored by Miss Grace L. Newton; and commissioned 19 May 1934, Capt. Gordon W. Haines in command.
		As word came that a large Japanese force was sailing to attempt a disruption of the operation, Minneapolis rejoined TF 58 to screen the carriers during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, 19 and 20 June.
		Continuing to alternate carrier screening and bombardment duties in the Philippines, Minneapolis was on the scene for the attack and landings at Lingayen Gulf, Luzon, 4 to 18 January 1945 and the landings on Bataan and Corregidor 13 to 18 February.

		Although correcting many flaws of previous classes of CA's, in some areas they were still weak.
		Armor, for one, was woefully inadequate; in many important areas (bridge, turrents, fire control directors) would only barely defeat a destoryer's five inch guns, and some of those areas would be hard pressed to defeat that.
		All but one (Tuscaloosa CA-37) were involved in the bloody fighting in the Solomons, with Astoria, Quincy, and Vincennes sunk at the Battle of Savo Island (Aug 8-9, 1942).
