Usa Cruiser
The project is a theoretical advancement of heavy cruisers akin to the Des Moines class, incorporating a fourth main battery turret. As a result, the total number of 203 mm guns equipped with automatic loaders grew to twelve. The anti-aircraft armament was significantly enhanced, specifically by replacing all 20 mm and 40 mm guns with 76 mm automatic twin guns. The 38-caliber 127 mm guns were substituted with long-barrel 54-caliber guns.
