Your article on USS Houston CL 81 is incorrect. You are describing the CA 30 which was a heavy cruiser launched in 1929 and sunk in February of 1941. The story is correct, but it was not the CL 81, a light cruiser which was torpedoed but not sunk, that you are describing in your article. It is the CA 30, a heavy cruiser. The statistics in the column to the right side of the story, the Career and General Characteristics, describes the CL 81, and the other side of the page tells the story of the CA 30. The CL 81 was built and launched, set out to sea again and scrapped long after the CA 30 was sunk. I have a friend who was on the CA 30 many, many years ago and my husband was on the CL81. Two different ships but each with gallant histories.
