USS San Diego (CL-53) was an Atlanta-class light cruiser. Laid down on 27 March 1940, she was commissioned on 10 January 1942, just weeks after the US entry into World War II. She served in the Pacific Theater and earned 18 battle stars for service in World War II, making her one of the most decorated US ships of the war. On 27 August 1945, San Diego was the first major Allied Warship to enter Tokyo Bay after the surrender of Japan. After the end of the war, San Diego participated in Operation Magic Carpet.
San Diego was decommissioned in November 1946 and placed into the Pacific Reserve Fleet in Bremerton, Washington. In March 1959 she was struck from the Naval Vessel Register, and sold for scrap in December 1960 to Todd Shipyards in Seattle, Washington.
