Ship Photo of the Day

One of the most decorated ships of WW2 was USS San Diego CL-53, an Atlanta class light cruiser optimized for anti-aircraft defense. Not having the traditional 6” guns of light cruisers, instead she had 16 (8x2) dual 5”/38’s and was able to put up a larger broadside fleet defense barrage than any battleship. She was also the first ship to enter Tokyo Bay after the surrender of Japan.
