	CL-144 Worcester
		Worcester operated off the eastern seaboard, ranging from Newport to Norfolk and south to Puerto Rico, with visits in between to Philadelphia, before she began her second 6th Fleet deployment in the spring of 1950.
		Worcester remained at Sasebo from 7 to 10 September and got underway at 0532 on 11 September, again with TF 77, and proceeded to the operation area in the Yellow Sea to support a large-scale amphibious assault by United Nations (UN) forces against enemy forces in the Inchon and Seoul areas of Korea.
		Worcester screened the fast carrier task forces as their planes dropped lethal loads on North Korean targets ashore until she was detached on the 20th to conduct a shore bombardment mission as part of TG 95.2 in the vicinity of Pohang Dong.

		In 1718 she underwent a major repair and refit, and was thus ready in March 1719 when a small Spanish expedition landed in the western Highlands of Scotland, making its depot at Eilean Donan Castle[?] in Loch Duich[?], and raising a small force of disaffected clansmen in support of the Jacobite cause.
		Enterprise, in company with HM Ships Worcester[?] and Flamborough[?], was soon on the scene and, after a close-range bombardment of the castle, a landing party blew it up.
		The eighth HMS Enterprise (1926)[?] was an Emerald-class light cruiser designed and built by John Brown and Company of Clydebank, Scotland[?], who laid her keel down on June 28, 1918.

		These cruisers were designed in the late 1930's under the constraints of the London Naval Treaty of 1936 which tried to place an 8,000 ton limit on cruisers with the abandonment of 8" gun (heavy) cruisers.
		This class was developed to satisfy the need for a light displacement, high speed vessel whose mission was primarily combating large scale attack by aircraft, but which also possessed the ability to perform certain types of cruiser duty.
		Three follow-on ships (Juneau Class) were commissioned in 1946 and were distinguished from the Atlanta Class by a reduction of the superstructure height by one level, a reduction in the distance between the stacks, and a substantial increase in the antiaircraft batteries.

		By any measure the class was large in size, in displacement of each ship and in the numbers of ships in the class.
		All members of the class that could not be completed in the near term were cancelled or scrapped on the stocks.

	152mm L/47 Surface-Fire Artillery
		For the new light cruisers of the Brooklyn class, the first laid down since the Omaha class of 1921, a new 6" gun was put under development, leading to this gun.
		The 152mm L/47 was mounted in the Brooklyn and Cleveland class light cruisers (of course also in the Fargo class, a one-smokestack variant of the Clevelands only serving post-war), in both cases in triple turrets.
		Thus, after the disasterous battle of Tassafaronga, the heavy cruisers originally with the bombardment forces in the Slot were removed and replaced by increased numbers of light cruisers.

	USS San Juan - Specifications
		Initial design concepts called for a "mini all purpose " Brooklyn class cruiser with dual purposes 6" armament but was quickly changed as it became apparent that a successful design could not be achieved on that displacement and a dual purpose 6" mount would not be ready for some time.
		Their initial purpose, contrary to popular belief, was not only that of an anti-aircraft cruiser but that of a small, fast scout cruiser that could operate in conjunction with destroyers on the fringes of the battle line in addition to the defense of the battle line against destroyer and aircraft attack.
		While they were not designed to "slug it out" with heaver ships, they were well suited to close surface action in bad weather (poor visibility) and to night actions, where their fast firing 5"/38's and eight 21" torpedos could be used to advantage.

	USN Ship Designations
		ASW Cruisers - A planned class of Submarine Hunter-Killer Cruisers were designated CLK and numbered in a separate series, but only one ship of this type, USS Norfolk CLK-1, was actually laid down and she was redesignated as Frigate DL-1 on 2 February 1951 prior to her commissioning on 4 March 1953.
		It was planned to convert the Large Cruiser USS Hawaii (CB-3) into a large command cruiser and she was so redesignated as CBC-1 on 26 February 1952 but this conversion was later cancelled and she reverted back to her original designation on 9 October 1954.
		As the Ticonderoga class retained their originally planned hull numbers, this left a gap in the missile cruiser hull series sequence and hull numbers CG-43 to CG-46 were never assigned to any ship.

	Spring Styles Book # 3 (1939-1944), Lot S-511 -- Cruiser Preliminary Design Drawings
		The quantity of cruiser concepts, and the large number of drawings involved with them, indicates a very strong interest in that type of ship during the late 1930s and early 1940s, an emphasis extended by World War II era projects to develop guns capable of countering higher-performance aircraft.
		Chronologically, the cruiser drawings begin in October-December 1939 with studies of what became the Cleveland (CL-55) class light cruisers, the Baltimore (CA-68) class heavy cruisers, a small (7500-ton) light cruiser with dual-purpose five-inch guns, and a final attempt to design a flight deck cruiser ("CF").
		It was the basis for the abortive CL-154 class, cancelled in March 1945.
