Uss Samoa (Cb-6)
The
United States Navy
selected the name
Samoa
for
CB-6
, an
Alaska
-class
large cruiser
ordered on
9 September
1940
from
New York Shipbuilding Corporation
,
Camden, New Jersey
. Although
Samoa
was scheduled for completion by
1 December
1946
, all available materials and slipways were allocated to higher priority ships:
aircraft carriers
,
destroyers
, and
submarines
. This postponed her
keel
laying until large cruisers were no longer required.
Samoa's
construction, never begun, was finally cancelled on
24 June
1943
. See
USS
Samoa
for other Navy ships of the same name.
