* {{USS|Alaska|CB-1}} was commissioned on 17 June 1944. She served in the Pacific, screening aircraft carriers, providing shore bombardment at [[Okinawa Island|Okinawa]], and going on raiding missions in the East China Sea. She was decommissioned on 17 February 1947 after less than three years of service and was scrapped in 1960.<ref name="Alaska DANFS"/>
* {{USS|Guam|CB-2}} was commissioned on 17 September 1944. She served in the Pacific with ''Alaska'' on almost all of the same operations. Along with ''Alaska'', she was decommissioned on 17 February 1947 and was scrapped in 1961.<ref name="Guam DANFS"/>
* {{USS|Hawaii|CB-3}} was intended as a third ship of the class, but she was never completed. Numerous plans to utilize her as a guided-missile cruiser or a large [[command ship]] in the years after the war were fruitless, and she was scrapped.<ref name="Hawaii DANFS"/>
* USS ''Philippines'' (CB-4), ''Puerto Rico'' (CB-5), and ''Samoa'' (CB-6) were planned as the fourth, fifth, and sixth ships of the class, respectively. All three ships were to be built at [[Camden, New Jersey]], but they were cancelled before construction could begin.<ref name="Philippines DANFS"/><ref name="Puerto Rico DANFS"/><ref name="Samoa DANFS"/>
