DESCRIPTION

USS Atlanta (CL-51) of the United States Navy was the lead ship of the Atlanta class of eight light cruisers. She was the third Navy ship named after the city of Atlanta, Georgia. Designed to provide anti-aircraft protection for US naval task groups, Atlanta served in this capacity in the naval battles Midway and the Eastern Solomons. Atlanta was heavily damaged by Japanese and friendly gunfire in a night surface action on 13 November 1942 during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. The cruiser was sunk on her captain's orders in the afternoon of the same day.Atlanta, in some works, is designated CLAA-51 because of her primary armament as an anti-aircraft cruiser. Hence, all of the Atlanta-class ships are sometimes designated as CLAA. However, her entire battery of 5-inch (127 mm) guns were dual-purpose (DP) guns, and were capable of being used against both air and surface targets, able to fire anti-aircraft, high-explosive and armor-piercing shells.The Atlanta-class ships were lightly armored, making them poor surface combatants compared to a typical light cruiser. In terms of armament, the Atlanta class was closer to a destroyer, being armed with 5-inch guns, than a light cruiser, which were generally equipped with 6-inch guns; but at well over 500 feet (152 m) in length, and combined with their large battery of sixteen 5-inch (127 mm) guns (reduced to twelve in number for later ships of the class), they were designated as light cruisers. Typical destroyers of the time only carried five or six 5-inch guns.[citation needed] Despite being under-armored for light cruisers, they had thicker armor than destroyers, which were notoriously underprotected. //USS Atlanta (CL-51) ВМС США был ведущим кораблем класса Атланта из восьми легких крейсеров. Это был третий корабль Военно-Морского флота, названный в честь города Атланта, штат Джорджия. Предназначенная для обеспечения противовоздушной обороны американских военно-морских оперативных групп, Атланта служила в этом качестве в морских сражениях на Мидуэе и восточных Соломоновых островах. Атланта была сильно повреждена японским и дружественным артиллерийским огнем в ночной наземной операции 13 ноября 1942 года во время морского сражения на Гуадалканале. Крейсер был потоплен по приказу ее капитана во второй половине того же дня.Атланта, в некоторых работах, обозначается CLAA-51 из-за ее основного вооружения как зенитный крейсер. Поэтому все корабли класса Атланта иногда обозначаются как CLAA. Однако вся ее батарея из 5-дюймовых (127 мм) орудий была двухцелевыми (ДЦ) орудиями и могла использоваться как против воздушных, так и надводных целей, способных вести огонь зенитными, фугасными и бронебойными снарядами.Корабли класса Атланта были легко бронированы, что делало их плохими надводными бойцами по сравнению с типичными легкими крейсерами. По вооружению Атланта была ближе к эсминцу, вооруженному 5-дюймовыми пушками, чем легкий крейсер, который обычно оснащался 6-дюймовыми пушками; но при длине более 500 футов (152 м) и в сочетании с их большой батареей из шестнадцати 5-дюймовых (127 мм) пушек (уменьшенной до двенадцати для более поздних кораблей этого класса) они были обозначены как легкие крейсера. Типичные эсминцы того времени несли только пять или шесть 5-дюймовых орудий.несмотря на то, что они были недостаточно бронированы для легких крейсеров, у них была более толстая броня, чем у эсминцев, которые, как известно, были недостаточно защищены.
