USS Long Beach
CGN 9 Nuclear Powered

Commissioned in 1961, the USS Long Beach was the world's first nuclear powered cruiser. The monolithic superstructure atop her otherwise graceful 721' cruiser hull makes it impossible to confuse Long Beach with any other ship. She symbolizes a time when nuclear power was in its ascendance. Along with Bainbridge and Enterprise, she became part of the first nuclear powered fleet.
