Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Anti-Air Cruiser Princess.

General Information

Named after the city of Atlanta.
She was launched on the 6th of September 1941.
Scuttled after severe damage in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal by friendly fire from USS San Francisco on the 13th of November 1942.

Update History

She was added on the 7th of December 2019 as Fall 2019 Event E5 reward.

Misc

The Atlanta-class of light cruisers was a series of eight ships originally intended as scout cruisers or flotilla leaders. However, their dual-purpose main armament made them very effective at engaging enemy aircraft. Ultimately, this would become their primary duty during the Pacific War, serving as screens and escorts for American aircraft carriers. However, they were poor at engaging surface targets, due to their lack of sufficient armor protection.
The ship earned a total of 5 battle stars for her service. Among the battles, she participated in included the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Santa Cruz, and the First Naval Battle of Guadalcanal.
The wreck of USS Atlanta was discovered for the first time in 1992.
Her wreck is divable, albeit being at around 90 meters this pleasure is reserved for the best of the best.
