THE U. s. s. MQBILE, cl. - sa Authorized at a time when hostilities in Europe were arousing keen concern over our own naval shortcomings, the story of the MOBILE corresponds closely with the development of our naval strength in the Pacific. Only one other ship has borne the name: she was a small warship operating under the Union colors with Admiral Earragut's fleet during the Civil War. The keel of the new MOBILE was laid on April l4, l94l at the Newport News Ship- building and 'Drydock Company and on May l5 of the following year the hull of CL 63 slid down the ways. The sponsor was Mrs. Harry T. Hartwell, wife of the president of Mobile's city commission. On March 24, l943 the commission pennant was raised with ap- propriate ceremony and Captain C. lulian Wheeler took command. After a short period of training in the Chesa- Q peake Bay and a brief visit to Casco Bay, Maine, the MOBlLE turned to- ward the Pacific, leaving the Canal astern on the 20th of lune. With eleven Battle Star operations to her credit the story of the 'XMIGHTY MO is told by the record of her achievements, by the ac- complishments of the fleets in which she work- ed, and, in part, by the pictures which follow. gaphs not to be reproduced without permission.
