Worcester — USA · Tier X · Cruiser

Designed as an AA cruiser with dual-purpose 152 mm guns. Though classified as light cruisers, ships of this class had increased displacement and dimensions, compared with the Baltimore-class heavy cruisers. The main twin-gun turrets were equipped with advanced autoloaders, substantially increasing the rate of fire and making it possible to load the guns at any elevation angle. Worcester saw no action in World War II and entered service only in the post-war years. She was decommissioned in 1958.
