USS Phoenix (CL-46), was a light cruiser of the
Brooklyn-class cruiser family. After World War II the ship was transferred to Argentina and was ultimately renamed General Belgrano in 1956.
General Belgrano was sunk during the Falklands War in 1982 by the British
nuclear-powered submarine HMS Conqueror, the only ship to have been sunk in combat by a
nuclear-powered submarine during wartime.
