USS Worcester, CL-144 (June 1950 in the Mediterranean)
Combining destroyer
maneuverability with cruiser size and given a main battery that could
deal not only with surface targets but with aircraft as well, WORCESTER
embodied many of the lessons learned during World War II. She and her
sister ship, ROANOKE (CL-145), epitomized the hard-hitting dual-purpose
cruiser.
