On March 30, 1935, the cruiser USS New Orleans (CA-32) made her first visit to the city she was named for.
1935 年 3 月 30 日，美国海军新奥尔良号巡洋舰 (CA-32) 首次访问这座以她命名的城市。
A front-page article in The New Orleans States described the New Orleans as “trim and fast and graceful,” and during the ship’s four-day visit to the Cresent City, residents came aboard the recently completed cruiser to experience it firsthand.
《新奥尔良州》的一篇头版文章将新奥尔良号描述为“整齐、快速、优雅”，在这艘船对新月城进行为期四天的访问期间，居民们登上了这艘最近完工的巡洋舰，亲身体验了它。

The officers and men of the New Orleans received a royal welcome from the city’s leaders and locals.
新奥尔良指战员受到了该市领导人和当地人的热烈欢迎。
Captain Allen Bevins Reed, the ship’s first commanding officer, told The Times-Picayune that, even though he had just arrived in the city, he already felt like a native.
该船的第一任指挥官艾伦·贝文斯·里德（Allen Bevins Reed）船长告诉《皮卡尤时报》，尽管他刚刚抵达这座城市，但他已经感觉自己像当地人了。
His hosts agreed: Mayor T.
他的东道主也同意：T 市长。
Semmes Walmsley told Reed, “When you reported for duty aboard the U.S.S.
塞梅斯·沃姆斯利告诉里德，“当你在美国号航空母舰上报到时
New Orleans, you became one of us.” 2
新奥尔良，你成为了我们中的一员。” 2
The construction of new cruisers such as the USS New Orleans came at a crucial moment for global disarmament talks.
新奥尔良号等新巡洋舰的建造正值全球裁军谈判的关键时刻。
After World War I, many of the world’s leading military powers agreed to limit the strength of their navies during a series of international conferences.
第一次世界大战后，世界上许多主要军事强国在一系列国际会议上同意限制本国海军的实力。
The Washington Naval Conference of 1921–22 limited the number of battleships that leading naval powers (including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan) could build, but it left many issues unresolved.
1921-22 年的华盛顿海军会议限制了主要海军强国（包括美国、英国和日本）可以建造的战列舰数量，但留下了许多悬而未决的问题。
While the treaty focused on battleships or capital ships, an unanswered question was how many non-capital ships (including cruisers, aircraft carriers, and submarines) signatory nations could build in the coming years.
虽然该条约的重点是战列舰或主力舰，但一个悬而未决的问题是签署国在未来几年可以建造多少艘非主力舰（包括巡洋舰、航空母舰和潜艇）。
At the London Naval Conference in 1930, delegates from the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, and France agreed that the Americans were entitled to 18 cruisers, the British to 15, and the Japanese to 12 (a ratio of 5:4:3).
在1930年的伦敦海军会议上，来自美国、英国、日本、意大利和法国的代表一致认为，美国有权拥有18艘巡洋舰，英国拥有15艘，日本拥有12艘（比例为5:4:3）。
3 The treaty, which was signed on April 22, 1930, cleared the way for the United States to build a new class of 10,000-ton heavy cruisers.
3 该条约于 1930 年 4 月 22 日签署，为美国建造新型万吨级重型巡洋舰扫清了道路。
Sometimes referred to as “pocket battleships,” these cruisers were armed with 8-inch guns and carried a crew of over 500 sailors and Marines.
这些巡洋舰有时被称为“袖珍战列舰”，配备 8 英寸火炮，载有 500 多名水手和海军陆战队员。
The end of the London Naval Conference coincided with the retirement of the second ship in US naval history to be named for the city of New Orleans .
伦敦海军会议结束之际，美国海军历史上第二艘以新奥尔良市命名的舰艇退役。
In the spring of 1930, the USS New Orleans (CL-22) ended her long career as an American fighting ship.
1930 年春，新奥尔良号航空母舰 (CL-22) 结束了她作为美国战舰的漫长职业生涯。
As The New Orleans States reported in March 1930, the USS New Orleans had “witnessed the evolution of the naval service from the stirring days of the Spanish–American War to these latter days of airplanes and giant submarines and airplane carriers.” 4
正如《新奥尔良州》在 1930 年 3 月报道的那样，新奥尔良号航空母舰“见证了海军服役从激动人心的美西战争时期到后来飞机、巨型潜艇和航空母舰的发展”。 4

新奥尔良号航空母舰的建造工作于 1931 年 3 月在布鲁克林海军造船厂开始，历时两年多。
For the official launch ceremony on April 12, 1934, New Orleans city officials came to New York City to send off the Navy’s newest vessel.
1934 年 4 月 12 日，新奥尔良市政府官员来到纽约市，为海军最新舰艇举行正式下水仪式。

Other members of the New Orleans delegation included Ernest L.
新奥尔良代表团的其他成员包括 Ernest L.
Jahncke Sr., an engineer and businessman who served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Herbert Hoover, and his daughter, Cora Stanton Jahncke, the new vessel’s sponsor.
老扬克是一位工程师和商人，曾在赫伯特·胡佛总统领导下担任海军助理部长，他的女儿科拉·斯坦顿·扬克是这艘新船的赞助商。
US Navy tradition called for the sponsor to shatter a bottle of Champagne against a ship’s hull as it left the dock and entered the water.
美国海军的传统要求赞助商在船离开码头入水时将一瓶香槟打碎在船体上。
In this instance, however, with Prohibition laws still in effect under the 18th Amendment, newspapers at the time reported that the bottle Cora Jahncke smashed against the hull of the USS New Orleans contained Mississippi River water instead of Champagne.
然而，在这种情况下，由于第十八修正案中的禁酒法仍然有效，当时的报纸报道说，科拉·扬克（Cora Jahncke）砸在新奥尔良号航空母舰船体上的瓶子里装的是密西西比河水，而不是香槟。

The Jahnckes’ connections to the ship extended even further: Among her inaugural crew was Ensign Ernest L.

Jahncke Jr., a 1933 graduate of the US Naval Academy at Annapolis and one of the ship’s junior officers.
小扬克 (Jahncke Jr.) 1933 年毕业于安纳波利斯美国海军学院，也是该舰的一名初级军官。

Roosevelt, and the fourth Roosevelt to occupy that position.
罗斯福，也是第四位担任该职位的罗斯福。
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt linked the construction of the USS New Orleans to both American security and the ongoing economic depression in the United States: “Apart from the fact that such a navy will be the best insurance against warfare, the construction of ships will provide employment for many thousands of men and women throughout the country.” 8
助理国务卿罗斯福将新奥尔良号航空母舰的建造与美国安全和美国持续的经济萧条联系起来：“除了这样一支海军将成为抵御战争的最佳保障之外，船舶的建造还将为全国成千上万的男女提供就业机会。” 8
After her initial shakedown cruise, the New Orleans crossed the Atlantic and visited several European ports.
在初次试航后，新奥尔良号横渡大西洋并访问了几个欧洲港口。
Throughout June 1934, newspapers in New Orleans tracked her movements and her reception in a series of foreign ports.
1934 年 6 月，新奥尔良的报纸追踪了她的行踪以及她在一系列外国港口的接待情况。
In Amsterdam, The Times-Picayune reported that an unnamed American sailor from the New Orleans saved a Dutch child from drowning in one of the city’s canals.
在阿姆斯特丹，《皮卡尤恩时报》报道称，一名来自新奥尔良的未透露姓名的美国水手在该市的一条运河中救了一名溺水的荷兰儿童。
9 Less than two weeks later, The New Orleans Item described how the cruiser was given a berth of honor at Great Britain’s Portsmouth naval dock yard.
9 不到两周后，《新奥尔良报道》描述了这艘巡洋舰如何在英国朴茨茅斯海军造船厂获得荣誉泊位。
Upon her departure, British Admiral Sir John Donald Kelly sent a message to the New Orleans ’s commander: “Your visit has been a very great pleasure to us.
在她离开时，英国海军上将约翰·唐纳德·凯利爵士向新奥尔良号的指挥官发了一条信息：“您的来访对我们来说非常高兴。
I wish you and all under your command a pleasant voyage home to your sweethearts and wives.” 10

At the end of March 1935, the New Orleans made her first visit to her namesake city.
1935 年 3 月底，新奥尔良首次访问她的同名城市。
As part of their welcome ceremony, city leaders presented the ship’s captain and crew with a silver service designed by Coleman E.
作为欢迎仪式的一部分，市领导向船长和船员赠送了由 Coleman E. 设计的银质服务。
Adler & Sons, a jewelry business on Canal Street that opened in 1898 and closed in 2025.
Adler & Sons 是一家位于运河街的珠宝店，于 1898 年开业，于 2025 年关闭。
This was no ordinary silver set—it was the very same silver set presented to the crew of the USS Louisiana (BB-19), a battleship that entered service in 1906, sailed around the world as part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet, and escorted ships across the Atlantic during World War I before being decommissioned in 1921.
这不是普通的银套装——它与赠送给路易斯安那号战列舰 (BB-19) 船员的银套装完全相同，这艘战列舰于 1906 年开始服役，作为西奥多·罗斯福总统的大白舰队的一部分航行于世界各地，并在第一次世界大战期间护送船只横渡大西洋，直至 1921 年退役。
Beside a depiction of city residents and leaders waving to the USS New Orleans arriving in the city, The Times-Picayune proclaimed that this still-new US Navy cruiser “inherits not only the silver services of the others but the same community admiration and goodwill in which they shared.” 12
除了描述城市居民和领导人向抵达该市的新奥尔良号航空母舰挥手致意之外，《皮卡尤恩时报》还宣称，这艘全新的美国海军巡洋舰“不仅继承了其他巡洋舰的银色服务，而且继承了它们所分享的同样的社区钦佩和善意。” 12

After leaving her namesake city, the USS New Orleans continued her naval career in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
离开同名城市后，新奥尔良号继续在太平洋和大西洋的海军生涯。
In the spring of 1939, she was again preparing to return to New Orleans, this time accompanied by another cruiser, the USS Chicago (CA-29).
1939 年春天，她再次准备返回新奥尔良，这次由另一艘巡洋舰芝加哥号 (CA-29) 陪同。
Constructed on the West Coast, the Chicago was making her first visit to New Orleans.
芝加哥号建于西海岸，这是她首次访问新奥尔良。
Their arrival was set for the first week of April, and the visit was supposed to last 10 days.
他们的抵达时间定于四月的第一周，访问预计持续 10 天。
As the date of their arrival approached, Ernest Jahncke Sr. revealed that, contrary to what was reported at the time, the bottle that his daughter Cora broke against the New Orleans ’s hull had contained real Champagne.
随着抵达日期的临近，老欧内斯特·扬克 (Ernest Jahncke Sr.) 透露，与当时的报道相反，他的女儿科拉 (Cora) 在新奥尔良号船体上打碎的瓶子里装有真正的香槟。
This was, The New Orleans States reported, “in accordance with ancient navy tradition, and in spite of the order against christening warships of prohibition America with intoxicating beverages.” When interviewed by journalist Meigs Frost, Jahncke expressed disdain at the Prohibition-era practice: “No ship named New Orleans could face the world if it was christened with anything else.
据新奥尔良各州报道，这是“符合古代海军传统的，尽管有禁止美国军舰洗礼的命令，但禁止使用醉酒饮料。”在接受记者梅格斯·弗罗斯特采访时，扬克表达了对禁酒令时代做法的蔑视：“如果以其他任何东西命名，没有一艘名为新奥尔良的船可以面向世界。

Unbeknownst to the people of New Orleans and the crew of the USS New Orleans , events far beyond their control were about to shorten their reunion.
新奥尔良人民和新奥尔良号航空母舰的船员们并不知道，超出他们控制范围的事件即将缩短他们的团聚时间。
Without warning, on Saturday, April 15, Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson ordered the bulk of the US Navy to sail for the Pacific Ocean, where it would establish new permanent bases and a larger American military presence in the region to deter Japanese aggression.
4 月 15 日星期六，海军部长克劳德·斯旺森在没有任何警告的情况下，命令美国海军的大部分舰艇驶向太平洋，在那里建立新的永久基地，并在该地区扩大美国军事存在，以阻止日本的侵略。
According to journalist Frank L.
据记者 Frank L.
Kluckhohn of The New York Times , who covered the Roosevelt administration, the president gave no specific justification for the dramatic order, although it came on the same day that Roosevelt released a personal message to the leaders of Germany and Italy asking them to agree to a 10-year pledge not to engage in aggressive warfare.
报道罗斯福政府的《纽约时报》的克拉克洪表示，总统没有给出这一戏剧性命令的具体理由，尽管就在同一天，罗斯福向德国和意大利领导人发布了个人信息，要求他们同意十年内不参与侵略战争的承诺。

Citing a “highly reliable source,” Kluckhohn wrote that American officials worried that the US position in the Pacific was vulnerable and believed that reinforcing the Pacific Fleet would signal to Japan that the United States had not abandoned the region.
克拉克霍恩援引“高度可靠的消息来源”写道，美国官员担心美国在太平洋的地位脆弱，并认为加强太平洋舰队将向日本发出信号，表明美国没有放弃该地区。
Sending American ships to the Pacific would also reassure US allies in Europe, especially France and Great Britain, who worried about their immediate security situation in Europe.
向太平洋派遣美国舰艇还可以安抚美国在欧洲的盟友，特别是法国和英国，他们担心欧洲当前的安全局势。

Regardless of what happened at the highest levels of government, the Navy secretary’s order caught American officers and enlisted men by surprise.
无论政府最高层发生了什么，海军部长的命令都让美国军官和士兵感到惊讶。
In New Orleans, the crews of the New Orleans and the Chicago received word the evening of Saturday, April 15, that they were to leave the city at daybreak on Tuesday, April 18.
在新奥尔良，新奥尔良号和芝加哥号的船员于 4 月 15 日星期六晚上收到消息，他们将于 4 月 18 日星期二黎明离开该城市。
They were to rendezvous with other American ships at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, before heading south for the Pacific via the Panama Canal.
他们将在古巴关塔那摩湾与其他美国船只会合，然后通过巴拿马运河向南前往太平洋。
All shore leaves were canceled, as were plans for the ships to take part in a formal fleet review in Virginia and visit the World’s Fair in New York.

But even though she was gone, the people of New Orleans did not forget their ship and her crew.
但即使她走了，新奥尔良人民也没有忘记他们的船和她的船员。
Several weeks after the USS New Orleans departed, The New Orleans Item printed a letter from a young New Orleans girl.
新奥尔良号航空母舰离开几周后，新奥尔良项目打印了一封来自新奥尔良年轻女孩的信。
Her name was Agneita Myers, and in the late 1930s The Item printed several of her letters on a variety of topics.
她的名字叫阿格尼塔·迈尔斯 (Agneita Myers)，在 20 世纪 30 年代末，The Item 刊登了她的几封涉及各种主题的信件。
This time, she addressed accusations of bad behavior by American sailors during the recent visit by the New Orleans and the Chicago .
这一次，她针对美国水手在新奥尔良号和芝加哥号最近访问期间的不良行为提出了指控。
Citing several individual sailors her family knew, she defended the sailors, calling them “the defenders of the grandest country in the world” who “would be acclaimed as a martyr and hero” if they died in battle.
她引用了她家人认识的几位水手的例子，为这些水手辩护，称他们是“世界上最伟大国家的捍卫者”，如果他们在战斗中牺牲，“将被称为烈士和英雄”。
She concluded with a rebuke to her fellow citizens, telling them the American sailor deserved their respect and friendship: “Give it to him now, don’t wait until he is dead.” 18
她最后对同胞们进行了谴责，告诉他们这位美国水手值得他们的尊重和友谊：“现在就给他，不要等到他死了。” 18
Less than three years later, many of those sailors were aboard the USS New Orleans when the Pacific Fleet was attacked at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, by forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
不到三年后，1941 年 12 月 7 日，太平洋舰队在珍珠港遭到日本帝国海军的袭击，其中许多水手都登上了新奥尔良号航空母舰。
