USS Salt Lake City was an American heavy cruiser of the interwar period and World War II. The keel for this unit was laid in 1927, and the launch took place in January 1929. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 178.5 meters and a width of 19.9 meters. Standard displacement reached approx. 9,200 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 32-33 knots. The armament at the time of the launch consisted of 10 203 mm guns, 4 127 mm guns and 8 20 mm AA guns. The unit could also carry 4 seaplanes.

USS Salt Lake City was one of two Pensacola-class cruisers. Units of this type were designed and built in accordance with the maximum tonnage provided for by the Washington Treaty of 1922. They had high firepower, good performance, but rather average armor. They were also designed to operate primarily in the Pacific. During World War II, the weapons of the units were modernized. USS Salt Lake City was north of Hawaii during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, thus avoiding damage. In April 1942, he covered an action that went down in history as the Tokyo Doolitle Rally. That same year, he also took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. In October, still 1942, it took part in the Battle of Cape Esperance, where it was badly damaged. For a large part of 1943 he operated in the area of the Aleutian Islands, where he fought in the Battle of the Commander's Islands. In 1945, USS Salt Lake City supported operations in the Iwo-Jima and Okinawa islands. This cruiser, undoubtedly of merit to the US Navy, served as a target ship in the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests in July 1946 after World War II. In May 1948 it was sunk.
