From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This list of cruisers of the United States Navy includes all ships that were ever called "cruiser". Since the nomenclature predates the hull numbering system, and there were several confusing renumberings and renamings, there are multiple entries referring to the same physical ship.
A '*' following the entry indicates a ship that was cancelled before completion.
Heavy cruisers CA-149 and CA-151 to CA-153, and light cruisers CL-154 to CL-159 were cancelled before being named.
The missing numbers in the guided-missile cruiser series, 43-46, were not used because DDG47-50 were redesignated CG47-50. These ships should have been redesignated CG43-46.
