The first USS Canberra (CA-70) was a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser commissioned in 1943, renamed to honor the sunk HMAS Canberra. She served in World War II, was torpedoed in 1944 but continued to participate in the war effort, and was later converted into a guided missile cruiser (CAG-2), recommissioning in 1956 to serve in the Vietnam War before being decommissioned in 1970 and scrapped in 1980. #reel #reels #reelsinstagram #reelitfeelit #reelkarofeelkaro #reelsvideo #video #instagood #videoof
