September 7, 1945

7- _____ Today we had lower deck inspection _ two CL came in _ both were of the Nashville class. Ber___ left today.
___________

Nashville class = Joe probably means Brooklyn-class, of which the USS Nashville was one. Photo shows the Nashville in December 1944, after being hit by a Kamikaze.

Ber = probably the USS Birmingham, one of the Mobile's sister ships (Cleveland-class cruisers).
