Her [[machinery]] includes four [[turret]]s and a [[crane_(machine)|]].

h4. Personality
Personality-wise, she comes off as being cool, laid back, and even somewhat aloof and/or easily irritated, a great contrast to many of the American shipgirls who came before her. She has a particular aversion to night battles and Japanese destroyers, [[Akatsuki (kancolle)|]] (see below) and [[Yuudachi (kancolle)|]] in particular, in reference to her historical fate. She is often compared to [[ryuujou (kancolle)|Ryuujou]], who also has brown hair and a similar haircut but a flat chest.

h4. History
She was commissioned 24 December 1941 and was awarded 5 battle stars and a Presidential Unit Citation during [[World War II]]. After sinking Japanese destroyer [[akatsuki (kancolle)|Akatsuki]], Atlanta was heavily damaged by Japanese and friendly gunfire in a night surface action on 13 November 1942 during the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal. The cruiser was sunk on her captain's orders in the afternoon of the same day.
