USN:

Imperial Japan:
The crew of Aoba class heavy cruiser Kinugasa manning the rails during her commissioning at Kobe, September 30, 1927
Submarine I-176 likely just after her commissioning, late 1942
The most successful submarine of her class, she severely damaged the heavy cruiser USS Chester in October 1942 and sank the submarine USS Corvina in November 1943, the only Japanese submarine to sink one of her American counterparts. I-176 was sunk in May 1944 in the western Pacific by the American destroyers Franks, Haggard and Johnston.
She was spotted by a US patrol plane whose radio reports summoned the destroyers USS Franks (DD-554), USS Haggard (DD-555) and USS Johnston (DD-557) to the scene. On the morning of May 16, the destroyers began to comb the waters off Buka. Haggard made a sonar contact at 4°1′S 156°29′E. at 21:45 and began dropping depth charges. The other destroyers joined in, carrying out a series of depth-charge attacks that continued for several hours. The following morning, the destroyers found evidence of the destruction of I-176 – fragments of sandalwood and cork and paper marked with Japanese words. There were no survivors

The 2 classes of nuclear Cruisers were beautiful ships, retired while relatively new. The Navy didn't want to spend the money to update them with AEGIS.
