Background

About the ship

Some experts considered the rapid-firing 203 mm guns mounted on Des Moines-class heavy cruisers as a possible option for rearming the Baltimore- and Oregon City-class heavy cruisers. To accommodate the small barbette size, it was planned to equip several ships under construction with twin-gun mounts. USS Tulsa was designed as an Oregon City-class cruiser, but her construction was canceled in August 1945.
