Скачать или смотреть USS Louisville CA 28 - "The Overlooked Warrior"

USS Louisville (CA-28) was a Northampton-class heavy cruiser that played a vital yet often overlooked role in the Pacific Theater of World War 2. While her exploits were overshadowed by the more famous heavy cruisers like USS Indianapolis and USS San Francisco, Louisville's contributions were no less vital to final victory. From escorting convoys and providing fire support during key amphibious landings, to surviving several devastating kamikaze attacks, "Lady Lou" often demonstrated exceptional resilience and versatility in the face of adversity. Louisville was awarded 13 battle stars for her service during the Pacific War.
