Скачать или смотреть USS Portland - Never Gave Up, No Matter What!

If you ask someone to name a pre-war American cruiser, the answer is almost certainly going to be Indianapolis. Largely due to Jaws.

This has resulted in her sister, USS Portland, often being forgotten by comparison. Or, at the least, overlooked. Despite the fact that Portland fought long and hard, through the entire Pacific War. Including some very severe damage at Guadalcanal. A shame, really, because Portland is an interesting ship.

In both service and design. And a ship that was one of the single most decorated American warships of the conflict.
