USS Louisville aluminum Keel Laying and Launching Keys, Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, WA.

 

They measure about 10 inches long.

 

Believe it or not, found them at different times in different antique shops.

CL-48, the USS Honolulu. It was my Father-In-Laws ship that he served on during the Pearl Harbor attack. He arrived on board in 1941 as a Seaman 2c and left a CBM in 1943. He is still alive at the active age of 95.

Though not a CA or CL- I'll go back even further with mine: the USS Raleigh C-8. My great-grandfather Robert Wormald was aboard during the Battle of Manila Bay May 1898.
