Oregon City-class cruiser

Common card · No. 220436

The Oregon City-class was a class of heavy cruisers of the United States Navy. Largely based on the preceding Baltimore-class of heavy cruisers, ten Oregon City-class ships were planned, but only four were completed. Of the completed ships, one was the USS Albany, which, in 1962, was converted to be the lead ship of the Albany-sub class of guided missile cruisers. Another vessel of the class, the USS Northampton would be converted to a command ship in 1951. The completed ships were in-commission from 1946 to 1980, with the Albany being the final vessel of the class to serve. All vessels of the class were eventually sold for scrap.
