In spite of a rough sea she went at a clip of 30 knots an hour. She was found to be perfect by the Naval trial board. |

NR | BURRAGE HAS NEW SHIP Vice-Admiral Guy H Burrage has in his new flagship, the light cruiser Detroit (CL 8), a sister to the Memphis (CL 13) which brought Col. Charles Lindbergh home. The Memphis, whose place she is taking as flagship of Vice Admiral Guy H. Burrage, commander-in-chief of the American naval squadron in European waters, the light cruiser Detroit is identified with an outstanding event in aeronautical history. The Memphis had one of the fastest trips ever made by a warship across the Atlantic, in bringing Col. Charles A. Lindbergh home. The Detroit acted as station ship for the ZR-3, now the dirigible Los Angeles, when she made her trans-Atlantic flight from Friedrichshafen, Germany, to Lakehurst, N. J. from a station in mid Atlantic. She kept the dirigible advised of weather conditions and enabled her crew to steer clear of the storms. |

Their ship has just been awarded two of the highest trophies in the navy. One is the battle efficiency pennant, known to navy men as the mast ball. The other is the gunnery trophy for ships of her class. In addition to these two honors the Detroit also holds the anti-aircraft trophy presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution. |

26k | I was assigned to USS Detroit in January 1944 at Bremerton, WA and was aboard her till she was decommissioned in Philadelphia. After the surrender ceremonies in Tokyo Bay on 2 September 1945, we went to Pearl Harbor, via Midway, and spent Navy Day tied up there, We had about ten thousand visitors aboard that day, probably on account that the Detroit was a survivor of the attack on 7 December 1941. We left Pearl Harbor and headed for Philadelphia to be decommissioned. On the way, we stopped at Terminal Island, San Pedro, CA to drop off passengers. Here is a picture that my brother-in-law took of the Detroit tied up at Terminal Island. No one but me and another sailor off the Detroit has seen this picture. | Howie Johnson |

102k | Battleships in dry-dock; Tennessee
(BB 43) & California
(BB 44) taken between 8 May and 27 October 1946. This photo comes from the U. S. Naval Institute and has an accompanying photocopy identifying all of the surrounding ships. It does identify the two cruisers as Detroit (CL 8) (inboard) and Trenton (CL 11) (outboard). It also identifies two returned U.K. DEs: HMS Rupert (DE 96) outboard of Olympia (ex-C 6) (IX 40), and HMS Berry (DE 3) ahead of the cruisers, and visible in the California's photo (it's still wearing its British hull #--K312). The Naval Institute photo was taken at a later date, as more of the "packaging" on the two battleships had been completed. According to Tennessee's deck logs, she entered Drydock #5 with California on 8 May 1946. South Dakota (BB 57) (mid-stern section visible at upper left of photo) subsequently entered Drydock #4--the 1946 "Navy Day" program from the shipyard indicates that this had taken place by 27th October of that year. The four CLs that were scrapped in Drydock #4 at the
Philadelphia NSY were: Omaha (CL
4), Cincinnati (CL 6),
Raleigh (CL 7) and Marblehead (CL 12). The remaining CLs; Detroit (CL 8), Trenton
(CL 11), Richmond (CL
9), Concord (CL 10)
and Memphis (CL 13) were
all sold to the Patapsco Scrap Co. of Baltimore. The sales bid
(B-76-47AV T) was opened on 6 Dec 1946; the five ships were sold
for $336,140 (or $67,228 each), and custody of the ships was
transferred to Patapsco between 27 December 46 and 21 January
47. The "light colored objects" in front of the two cruisers might "possibly" be barbettes from the Illinois (BB 65). According to drawings in the 1945 "Gun Mount and Turret Catalog", these two items appear to be about the same diameter as the barbettes for the two BBs' Tennessee & California; 14"/50 triple gun turrets; inside diameter 31 feet, from the same source -- outside diameter would have been about 33 feet. The Illinois barbettes would have an inside diameter about 37 1/4 feet, outside diameter rather over 39 feet. |
