A light cruiser with reasonably good speed for her time, but suffering from rather poor armament and armor. The ship could act as a scout and a destroyer flotilla leader. The Cruisers of this class were the first ships in the U.S. navy to feature turbine propulsion. They remained the only turbine cruisers in the U.S. Navy for a long time.
