The NEW OLREANS class represented the last class of the second generation “Treaty” heavy cruiser built between the two World Wars. The seven heavy cruisers in the class were outwardly similar. Their wartime displacement was 10,136 tons standard and 12,436 tons at full load. This displacement increased year by year due to the addition of radar, electronic equipment, and anti-aircraft protection. NEW OLREANS class cruisers were some of the most used ships in the US Navy during World War Two. They were found at every major naval skirmish even though there were only four units remaining after 1942. NEW OLREANS class heavy cruisers earned a total of 63 Battle Stars in the fight against the Japanese in the Pacific.

The Tone was a Japanese heavy cruiser the keel of which was laid in 1934, launched in November 1937, and commissioned in the Imperial Japanese Navy in November 1938. The ship was 189 m long, 19.4 m wide, and had a full displacement of 15,400 tons. Cruiser Tone's top speed was 35 knots. The main armament at the time of the launch was 8 203 mm guns in four turrets, two guns each, and the additional armament included: 12 127 mm guns and 12 610 mm torpedo tubes.

The Tone was the first cruiser of the type to bear the same name - the Tone. Initially, units of this type were planned to be built based on the already proven project of the Mogami cruisers, but due to the withdrawal of Japan from the disarmament systems, and especially from the London Treaty of 1932, it allowed the designers to deeply redesign new units, e.g. by adding a larger number of seaplanes, which allowed the Tone-class ships to perform reconnaissance functions in relation to their own groups of aircraft carriers. In the course of operations during the Second World War, the cruiser Tone took part in many operations. At its very beginning, it took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and later in the Japanese fleet's raid on the Indian Ocean (April 1942). He also fought at Midway in June 1942, and from August of that year fought in the waters around Gudalcanal. In the course of the Battle of Leyte (October 1944), the cruiser was badly damaged and was sent to the Home Islands for repair. There, at the base in Kure, it was sunk by American on-board planes on July 24, 1945.

With over 6,000 personnel, the carrier has a displacement of 102,000t, and a flight deck length of 332.9m. All seven nuclear-powered Nimitz class carriers have been built by Newport News Shipbuilding, based in Virginia. The Nimitz air wing consists of 74-86 aircraft. The flight deck measures 333 x 77m and is equipped with four lifts, four steam-driven catapults and four arrester wires. The carrier is capable of launching one aircraft every 20s.
