USS ROCHESTER

**USS Rochester** was the name given to three ships in the United States Navy, most notably **USS Rochester (CA-124)**, a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser. Commissioned in 1946, she served primarily in the Pacific and played a significant role during the Korean War, providing naval gunfire support for UN forces and participating in key operations such as the Inchon landings in 1950. Later, she supported various Cold War missions, including patrols and exercises in the Far East. USS Rochester was decommissioned in 1961 and ultimately sold for scrap in 1974.
