- USS_Worcester_(CL-144) abstract "The second USS Worcester (CL-144) was laid down on 29 January 1945 at Camden, New Jersey, by the New York Shipbuilding and Drydock Corp.; launched on 4 February 1947; sponsored by Gloria Ann Sullivan, the daughter of Mayor F. G. Sullivan of Worcester, Massachusetts; and commissioned at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard on 26 June 1948, Capt. T. B. Dugan in command.Combining destroyer maneuverability with cruiser size and given a main battery that could deal not only with surface targets but with aircraft as well, Worcester embodied many of the lessons learned during World War II. She and her sister ship, Roanoke (CL-145), epitomized the hard-hitting dual-purpose cruiser. However the design is largely considered a failure, as the main armament of twin automatic 6 inch guns never achieved fire rates of more 9-10rpm which was lower than the similar design of automatic 8 inch guns on the USS Newport News. Also the fire control fitted to the Worcester was optimised for anti aircraft fire rather than surface action or GFS and the Royal Navy 6 inch gun cruisers HMS Belfast and HMS Jamaica actually performed much better in GFS in the Korean War, the HMS Belfast's firepower being very useful in the Inchon landing and the US Navy view being central to the British decision to refit the Belfast in 1955. The Worcester and Ronoake seemed to offer little more than the post war group 3 Juneau class light cruisers on 40% of the displacement, the USS Juneau (LC119) as refitted in in 1951 with 6 twin Mk 38 5 inch and 12 50 calibre 3 inch on 6000 ton displacement seeming a better answer.The light cruiser was named after two previous ships of that name, honoring Worcester, Massachusetts.".
