It also helps explain what they were originally called, as at the bottom of the page it says they were named New Orleans class after Savo Island and extensive refits, but doesn't tell you the original class name.undoTags: nowiki addedVisual editMobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

It also explains the info at the bottom of the page stating their renaming to New Orleans class, as the page doesn't inform you what they were before that.undoTags: RevertedVisual editMobile editMobile web editAdvanced mobile edit

This is not substantiated in Jane's, DANFS, WWII publication Fighting Fleets, or any otther contemporary reference. WWII era Jane's lists the recognition drawing as New Orleans Class but then classifies the ships as Minneapolis class on the page devoted to the class. ~~~~undo
