USS Galveston, a 10,000-ton Cleveland class light cruiser built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was delivered to the Navy in May 1946, when almost completed. Her final outfitting was suspended in June 1946 and she was transferred to the Atlantic Reserve Fleet without having been commissioned. Reflecting plans to convert her to a guided missile light cruiser, Galveston's hull number was changed to CLG-93 in February 1956. She was again redesignated CLG-3 in May 1957, while conversion work was underway at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. Her history is continued in the page USS Galveston (CLG-3).
