USS New Orleans (CL/CA-32) was the lead New Orleans-class cruiser in service with the United States Navy. The New Orleans-class cruisers were the last U.S. cruisers built to the specifications and standards of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. Such ships, with a limit of 10,000 long tons (10,160 t) standard displacement and 8-inch (203-millimetre) calibre main guns may be referred to as "treaty cruisers." Originally classified a light cruiser, because of her thin armor, she was reclassified, soon after being laid down, a heavy cruiser, because of her 8-inch guns. The term "heavy cruiser" was not defined until the London Naval Treaty in 1930.
The USS New Orleans (CA-32) was a cruiser in the United States Navy that served during World War II. It was named after the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, and was the first ship to be named after the city. The ship was commissioned in 1933 and saw action in the Pacific Theater during World War II, participating in several major battles including the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway.
The New Orleans was decommissioned on 10 February 1947 and stricken from the Navy List on 1 March 1959. Six months later, she was sold for scrap.
