rdfs:label	Alaska-class large cruiser
rdfs:comment	The Alaska-class large cruisers was a class of six heavy cruisers ordered for the United States Navy before World War II. Officially the navy classified them as large cruisers (CB), but it is claimed that they were battlecruisers by other sources. The naming of the class is more related to that of the US battleships, being named after "territories or insular areas" of the United States.
