Thought you would appreciate knowing that LCS (Littoral Combat Ship) 30 has been named USS Canberra in honor of HMAS Canberra, lost a First Savo Island, and USS Canberra a long serving cruiser in the USN.
The first USS Canberra CA70, and later after conversion to our second guided missile cruiser CAG2, was the first US ship named for a foreign city. Canberra was originally laid down as USS Pittsburg, and her name was changed before she was launched.
