Heavy cruiser of the U.S. Navy Portland-class, built in 1932 and with a distinguished record before and during the Second World War; often the flagship of Admiral Raymond Spruance; sunk by a Japanese submarine in 1945 with a long delay before she was missed, leading to the largest loss of life of any single-ship disaster in the history of the United States Navy
