The New Orleans-class cruisers were built in 1934-1937. The earlier heavy cruisers had too little protection to sail over a long distance, so the Navy authorized the construction of these cruisers with heavier armor and protection in order to meet the treaty limit. However, their hulls were shorter than the Portlands and their machinery was not as well distributed. As a result, they were more susceptible to torpedoes. In addition, they had eight-inch guns, which could be raised individually.

Outfit

Transatlantic crossings

Transatlantic crossings occur on ships that cross the Atlantic Ocean. These passages are made for cargo and passengers. The bulk of transatlantic traffic is for passengers. The transatlantic trade route was first established in 1566 with the Spanish West Indies fleets that followed the voyages of Christopher Columbus.

Transatlantic passenger crossings became safer and faster with the advent of steamships. In 1838, the wooden-hulled paddle-wheel SS Great Western completed its first transatlantic crossing. The SS Great Western travelled from Bristol to New York City in just four and a half days. It became the prototype for later generations of transatlantic steamships.
