USS Guam (CB-2) was an Alaska-class large
cruiser which served with the United
States Navy during the end of World War II. She was the second and
last ship of her class to be completed. The ship was the second vessel of the
US Navy to be named after the island of Guam,
an American territory in the Pacific. Due to her commissioning late in the
war, Guam saw relatively
limited service during the war. She participated in operations off Okinawa in
March–July 1945, including providing anti-aircraft defense for the carrier
task force and conducting limited shore bombardment operations. She
participated in sweeps for Japanese shipping in the East China and Yellow Seas in July–August 1945. After the end
of the war, she assisted in the occupation of Korea and transported a contingent of US Army troops back to the United States. She was
decommissioned in February 1947 and placed in reserve, where she remained
until she was stricken in 1960 and sold for scrapping the
following year.
