The '''''Alaska''-class''' was a large cruiser design originally consisting of six ships planned and ordered in September 1940 under the massive 70% Expansion ("Two Ocean Navy") building program. Due to an immediate need for smaller escort vessels, construction on the ways was stopped for one and cancelled for three before the laying of their keels; the remaining two saw brief service in [[World War II]] before their own limitations put them in the reserve fleet for a time before scrapping.
