USS Newport News (CA-148)

The Worlds Largest Heavy Gun Cruiser

Welcome to my website!
As a crewmember onboard the Heavy Cruiser USS Newport News (CA-148) I was in awe of this magnificent warship from the first moment I received my orders to report aboard, and learning the history, while living part of it; I made it a priority of mine to try and preserve her memories any way I can.
