Background:

The Helena was the last Brooklyn class artillery light cruiser of the United States Navy. This class of ship is a product of the 1930 London Naval Treaty.

Due to this treaty only allowing the United States to build two more Washington Treaty type heavy cruisers (CA44 and CA45), in order to counter the expanding naval power of other countries, the United States had to turn to building advantageous light cruisers equipped with 6-inch main guns, which led to the birth of the Brooklyn class.
