CINCINNATI

There have been five US Navy vessels named after the City of Cincinnati.  All were known as USS Cincinnati.  They are as follows:

A Union Gunboat  1861 - 1866  Civil War

A Cruiser  1894 - 1919  World War I

An Omaha Class Light Cruiser  1922 - 1946  World War II

A Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine  1978 - 1996  Cold War

An Independence Class Littoral Combat Ship  2018 - present (See picture below)

A Memorial - Peace Pavilion is being built on the Voice of America (VOA) property in West Chester adjacent to the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting. The conning tower, the forward dive planes, the upper rudder and the diesel engine generator from the Submarine USS Cincinnati will be incorporated into the project. Look for it next year.
