USS Bremerton (CA 130) was commissioned on April 29, 1945.

The ship’s name was chosen following a bond selling competition between Bremerton’s Puget Sound Navy Yard and Mare Island Navy Yard in California. Bremerton won! As a result, USS Bremerton joined the fleet on April 29, 1945. She was too late to participate in World War II, but served through the Korean War, making multiple Pacific Fleet deployments and earning two battle stars before being decommissioned in 1960.
