United States Navy Cruisers

United States Navy Cruisers

It is not known how many light, heavy or large cruisers are in service with the United States Navy on the eve of war on Augusts 1st 1945 but those light, heavy and large cruisers under construction at the time of the writing of the Lightning in the night book (august 24th to November 1940) and what I assume are built under the large naval expansion during the 1940 to 1945 period are in service. I also assumed that the United States Navy of the Lightning in the night timeline has a large number of light cruisers in service to counter the Japanese Imperial Navy and the United Greater German Reich Kriegsmarine light cruisers.
