USS Wright (CC-2)
U.S. Navy
USS Wright (CC-2) was a planned Lexington-class battlecruiser for the United States Navy, laid down in 1921 at the Newport News Shipbuilding Company. Named after the Wright brothers, the ship was part of a class designed during World War I to counter new fast battleships and cruisers. However, construction was halted and ultimately canceled in 1923 following the Washington Naval Treaty, which imposed strict limits on capital ship construction. The incomplete hull was scrapped on the slipway, and the name Wright was later reassigned to other Navy vessels.
