About the ship
A further development of the Atlanta-class cruisers was to be the CL-154 project, which incorporated increased hull dimensions and replaced the main battery guns with 5-inch guns featuring a high rate of fire, long firing range, and heavy shells. The last project is dated 1944. The plan was to build six cruisers, but this never happened due to cuts in the naval budget in 1945. Had they been built, some of these cruisers might have been transferred to the Republic of China Navy, as from the 1950s until the 1980s, it was actively acquiring American-built Benson-, Gleaves-, Bristol-, Allen M. Sumner-, Gearing-, and Kidd-class destroyers.
