Re: Light Cruisers: Atlanta Class Anti Aircraft
Many thanks Brian, I split this post from the Juneau Class thread as I believe the loss of this ship gave rise to the later class of that name, for which you already have a thread.

Re: Light Cruisers: Atlanta Class Anti Aircraft
A very nice photo of her, before loss in the S. Pacific. These were very handsome little cruisers that were thrown in the various battles off Guadalcanal against battleships and heavy cruisers, plus anything else that could fire or drop bombs. Hence her loss and ATLANTA. DFO
