美国小石城 （CL-92/CLG-4/CG-4）是二战期间或之后不久完成的27艘美国海军克利夫兰级轻型巡洋舰之一，也是6艘将改装为导弹巡洋舰的轻型巡洋舰之一。她是第一艘以阿肯色州小石城命名的美国海军舰艇。1945年年中受命，她完成得太晚了，看不到第二次世界大战期间的战斗任务。在最初的南美巡游之后，她花了几年时间在美国东海岸、加勒比海和地中海服役。像她的姐妹船一样，她在战后的国防削减中退役，1949年成为大西洋舰队的一员。

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.
