Wichita
The design for this ship was based on Brooklyn-class cruisers in terms of their layout but featured 203 mm guns. The distance between the barrels of the guns was increased to reduce shell dispersion. It was decided to incorporate a conical shape for the barbettes instead of a cylindrical one to prevent an increase in their diameter. During World War II, USS Wichita played an active role in both the Atlantic and Pacific Theaters. Over the course of the war, the cruiser was awarded 13 battle stars.
