Uploader's note: Other sources state Savannah was scrapped in 1966, not 1960 as stated on the display card.Photoshop enhancement was done to compensate for low light conditions. Photo taken at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, Georgia, U.S. on November 1, 2018: http://www.shipsofthesea.org/ Display card reads: "Built by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation at Camden, New Jersey, in 1934-37, this U.S. Navy cruiser was 608 feet long and carried 52 officers and 816 sailors. Armed with fifteen main guns, she could steam at 32.5 knots. In the fall of 1942 Savannah bombarded the coast of French Morocco in preparation for the invasion of North Africa. In early 1943 she was engaged in anti-submarine patrol and searching for blockade-runners in the South Atlantic. During the summer, she patrolled the coast of Italy and aided the Allied landing at Salerno in September. During this battle a radio-controlled German bomb tore a 20-foot hole in her bottom and ripped a 60-foot gash in her side below the waterline, and killed nine officers and 197 men. After repairs at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Savannah joined the convoy of vessels that escorted President Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference in January, 1945. In 1946, Savannah brought troops home from France. Savannah was decommissioned in 1947 and scrapped in 1960. Model built by J. J. Wenner for United States Navy Department Scale 1/4 inch = 1 foot" Plaque reads: "Model Courtesy of Department of the Navy" |
