USS Väike Kivi (CL-92/CLG-4/CG-4) oli üks 27-st Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe Cleveland-klassi kergristlejast, mis valmisid Teise maailmasõja ajal või vahetult pärast seda, ja üks kuuest, mis muudeti juhitavateks raketiristlejateks. Ta oli esimene USA mereväe laev, mis sai nimeks Little Rock, Arkansas. 1945. aasta keskel tellitud ta valmis liiga hilja, et näha lahingukohustust Teise maailmasõja ajal. Pärast esialgset Lõuna-Ameerika kruiisi veetis ta järgmised aastad USA idarannikul, Kariibi mere piirkonnas ja Vahemerel teenides. Nagu kõik peale ühe tema sõsarlaeva, jäi ta pensionile sõjajärgsetes kaitsekärbetes, saades 1949. aastal Atlandi reservlaevastiku osaks.

General Characteristics and Role
The USS Little Rock was initially commissioned as a Cleveland-class light cruiser (CL-92) during World War II, though it was completed too late to see action. In the late 1950s, it underwent a massive conversion, being stripped of most of its conventional armament and rebuilt as a Galveston-class guided missile light cruiser (CLG-4). Its new primary role was to act as a fleet air defense commander and anti-air missile platform. After a further reclassification, it became a guided missile cruiser (CG-4). It served as the flagship for the U.S. Second Fleet and the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean for many years during the Cold War. It is the only surviving ship of the Cleveland-class and is now a museum ship at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park.
