Rating A- (Above average+ within its tier and class · overall score 66) · Stealthy cruiser
Stealthy cruiser, suited to spotting. It is weak against battleships (HE deals a same-tier battleship's HP in about 8 min on paper). Top speed is 31.7 kn (0.8 kn below average), but 13.1 s acceleration and 6.0 s rudder shift make it exceptionally nimble at dodging shells and snapping turns. AP penetration of 270 mm is 28% above average and handles thick armor. Key skills: Rapid Reload I ×2 (main battery reload +18%, 20 s); Radar I ×2 (7.2 km, 10 s). A firepower equipment build improves reload 11→10.45 s, dispersion 231→210 m.

One of the last cruisers in the U.S. Navy that was subject to the Washington Naval Treaty. Compared with her predecessors, the ship featured heavier armor, which remarkably improved her survivability. By the end of World War II, the cruiser's armament was reinforced with numerous automatic AA guns.
