USS "Indianapolis"
USS Indianapolis (CA-35)
USS "Indianapolis" (CL/CA-35) was a "Portland"-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy, named for the city of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Adrian Marks
Lieutenant Commander (USN) Robert Adrian "Adrian" Marks (February 18, 1917 - March 7, 1998) was the U.S. Navy pilot who rescued 56 crewman of the USS "Indianapolis" after it was sunk by Japanese torpedoes.
 Marks disobeyed standing orders not to land in open ocean and rescued survivors by lashing them to the wing.
 His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable.
 He was awarded the Air Medal by Chester W. Nimitz.
 After the rescue, the plane was sunk by U.S. forces as it was not able to be recovered.
USS Wichita (CA-45)
USS "Wichita" (CA-45) was a unique heavy cruiser of the United States Navy built in the 1930s.
 The last American cruiser designed to meet the limits of London Naval Treaty, she was originally intended to be a "New Orleans"-class heavy cruiser, accordingly with the maximum main armament of three triple 8 in gun turrets.
 These were instead placed on an improved hull derived from the "Brooklyn"-class light cruisers, with increased armoring.
 This design would go on to form the basis for the later World War II-era heavy cruisers such as the "Baltimore"-class cruiser s.
 The ship was authorized by the 1929 Cruiser Act, laid down at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in October 1935, launched in November 1937, and commissioned into the US Navy in February 1939. Rennick Glacier
Rennick Glacier is broad glacier, nearly 200 mi long, which is one of the largest in Antarctica.
 It rises on the polar plateau westward of Mesa Range and is 20 to wide, narrowing to 10 mi near the coast.
 It takes its name from Rennick Bay where the glacier reaches the sea.
 The seaward part of the glacier was photographed by U.S. Navy (USN) Operation Highjump, 1946-47.
 The upper reaches of the Rennick Glacier were discovered and explored by the U.S. Victoria Land Traverse (VLT) in February 1960, and the first ascent made of Welcome Mountain by John Weihaupt, Alfred Stuart, Claude Lorius and Arnold Heine of the VLT party.
 On February 10, 1960, Lieutenant Commander Robert L. Dale, pilot of U.S. Navy (USN) Squadron VX-6, evacuated the VLT from 7238S, 16132E, on this glacier, and then conducted an aerial photographic reconnaissance to Rennick Bay on the coast before returning the VLT team to McMurdo Station. Sorna Bluff
Sorna Bluff ( ) is a prominent rock bluff on the north side of Saratoga Table, overlooking the head of May Valley in the Forrestal Range, Pensacola Mountains.
 It was mapped by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1956–66, and named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant Commander Ronald E. Sorna, a U.S. Navy pilot on photographic flights in the Pensacola Mountains. USS Helena (CA-75)

The second USS "Newport News" (CA–148) was a "Des Moines"-class heavy cruiser in the United States Navy.
 "Newport News" was laid down 1 November 1945; launched on 6 March 1948 by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia.
 The vessel was sponsored by Mrs. Homer L. Ferguson upon commissioning on 29 January 1949, Captain Floyd Smoot commanding.

 In November 1936 "Phelps", along with the cruiser "Chester", escorted the heavy cruiser "Indianapolis" carrying President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the opening of the Inter-American Peace Conference of 1936.
 The cruise included good-will visits to Montevideo, Uruguay and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. USS New Orleans (CA-32)
USS "New Orleans" (CL/CA-32) was the lead "New Orleans"-class cruiser in service with the United States Navy.
 The "New Orleans"-class cruisers were the last U.S. cruisers built to the specifications and standards of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922.
 Such ships, with a limit of standard displacement and 8 in calibre main guns may be referred to as "treaty cruisers."
 Originally classified a light cruiser, because of her thin armor, she was reclassified, soon after being laid down, a heavy cruiser, because of her 8-inch guns.
 The term "heavy cruiser" was not defined until the London Naval Treaty in 1930. USS Albany (CA-123)
USS "Albany" (CA-123) was a United States Navy "Oregon City"-class heavy cruiser, later converted to the guided missile cruiser CG-10.
