USS Vincennes (CA-44) was an American heavy cruiser, the keel of which was laid in 1934, launched in May 1936, and commissioned in the US Navy in 1937. The total length of the ship was 179 m, width 18.8 m, and her standard displacement - at the time of launching - about 10,000 tons. The maximum speed was up to 32.7 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 9 203 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament was mainly 8 127 mm guns.

USS Vincennes (CA-44) was one of the New Orleans-class cruisers (originally: Astoria-class). These types of units were built to the tonnage limit imposed by the Washington Treaty, but marked a decisive step forward compared to the previous classes of American cruisers. First of all, the armor and the overall strength of the structure were significantly improved, which proved its great advantages during the fights in the Pacific. In addition, for the first time in the US Navy, 203 mm main artillery was used in real turrets. The maximum possible speed was also taken care of. Undoubtedly, ships of this class were very successful units, able to compete with their Japanese counterparts without any problems. USS Vincennes (CA-44) was dispatched from the Atlantic to the Pacific very soon after the outbreak of the war in the Pacific. Already in April 1942, as a cover for the USS Hornet, he took part in the famous Doolittle Rally in Tokyo, and in June of the same year he fought at the Battle of Midway. Shortly thereafter, it was already operating in the Guadalcanal area, and on August 9 of the same year it was sunk during a night battle near Savo Island.
