She was the first US Navy ship to be named for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  Commissioned in late 1944, she participated in the latter part of the Pacific War in anti-aircraft screening and shore bombardment roles, for which she earned two battle stars.

  Title: Galveston-class cruiser
  Passage: Originally built as "Cleveland"-class light cruisers (CL) in the United States Navy during World War II, in 1957 three ships were re-designated as "Galveston"-class guided missile light cruisers (CLG) and fitted with the Talos long-range surface-to-air missile system.  During the two year refit, the aft superstructure was completely replaced and all aft guns were removed to make room for the twin-arm Talos launcher and a 46-missile storage magazine.  Three large masts were also installed in order to hold a variety of radars, missile guidance, and communications systems.  "Little Rock" and "Oklahoma City" were simultaneously converted into fleet flagships, which involved removing two forward dual 5 in and one triple 6 in turrets, and replacing them with a massively rebuilt and expanded forward superstructure.  "Galveston", in the non-flagship configuration, retained the "Cleveland"-class's standard forward weapons: three dual 5 in and two triple 6 in turrets.
