Portland Class Cruiser
The Portland-class of heavy cruisers consisted of two ships built for the United States Navy in the 1930s: Portland (CA-33) and Indianapolis (CA-35).
Famous quotes containing the words portland and/or class:
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
