USN Cruisers in WWII were named after US cities.
US Navy Large Cruisers were named after US territories, such as the USS Guam and USS Alaska. The British would call US Large Cruisers "Battlecruisers" and the other Europeans would call them "Pocket battleships." The US Navy preferred to NOT COPY foreigner's titles, and name them American terms; "Large Cruisers."
A small sampling of USN Heavy Cruiser names: USS Astoria, USS Vincennes, USS Quincy, USS Chicago; all sunk during Guadalcanal sea battles.
A few US Light Cruisers: USS Atlanta, USS Helena, USS Juneau; all sunk in Guadalcanal fighting.
Large Cruisers USS Alaska and USS Guam were scrapped.
