CLG/CG
[edit]Were all the Cleveland class missile ships later redesignated CG, or only some, or none?Busaccsb (talk) 17:56, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- It seems Topeka and Galveston were not redesignated CG, since they had been stricken before the 1975 redesignation. 130.234.5.136 (talk) 21:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Naming
[edit]A sentence had been added to the effect that almost all the ships were named for U.S. capitals, major cities, or landmarks. I checked the list of all ships completed as cruisers (as opposed to as Independence class carriers), and can't find any that were named for landmarks. All were named for cities (some capitals, some not), and unless I have missed something, this was true of all US cruisers, with the exception of the Canberra (CA-70) which was named for an Australian cruiser lost at the Battle of Savo, and the large cruisets Alaska and Guam, which were named for US possessions, all cruisers dating back at least from the time of the Washington Treaty until the 1975 reclassification that reclassified many destroyer leader/frigates as cruisers. Thus my edit. Have I missed something?Busaccsb (talk) 22:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Secondary armament caliber
[edit]The secondary armament reads "5 inch(130mm)" which is wrong. 5 Inches is 127mm, the guns are 127mm, not 130mm. It seems that the value 130mm is coming from a convert macro. How can the convert macro return a wrong value for the converted number? --Hkultala (talk) 22:10, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
