    History 

    The USS Honolulu (CL-48) was the 7th ship of the Brooklyn-class light cruisers.
    It was armed with the newly developed 47-caliber Mk 16 naval guns, with a maximum range of 23,882 meters.
    The front armor of its main battery turrets reached 6.5 inches, while its secondary armament consisted of single-mounted 5-inch / 25-caliber guns.
    Its anti-aircraft weapons were primarily 0.5-inch machine guns.
    The stern was equipped with two catapults and carried 4 seaplanes, and the ship had no torpedo tubes installed.

    On July 13, 1943, the Battle of Kula Gulf broke out.
    The USS Honolulu (CL-48) was struck by a torpedo fired by a Japanese destroyer, which blew off and destroyed the ship's bow.
    After temporary repairs to the bow, it returned to the United States for full overhaul.
    Following repairs, it departed San Francisco on November 17 to continue combat operations against Japan.
    On October 20, 1944, it was hit by another torpedo, sustaining heavy damage.

    The USS Honolulu (CL-48) was laid down on September 10, 1935, launched on August 26, 1937, and commissioned on June 15, 1938.
    It was scrapped on November 17, 1959. During World War II, it was awarded 8 Battle Stars.
