From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
No ship of the United States Navy has been named USS New Haven (after New Haven, Connecticut), but the name has been proposed at least three times:
- The light cruiser New Haven (CL-76) was converted to the aircraft carrier Belleau Wood (CVL-24) in 1942, before launching.
- Another light cruiser New Haven (CL-109), a Fargo-class vessel, was laid down 28 February 1944 by New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey, and was to launch 2 December 1945, but her construction was cancelled 12 August 1945.
- A third New Haven (CLK-1) was to have been a hunter-killer cruiser, along with Norfolk (DL-1), but New Haven was deferred 2 March 1949 and then completely cancelled 9 February 1951.
