USS _California_ (Armored Cruiser No. 6), 1907-1918.
Renamed _San Diego_ in 1914
USS _California_, a 13,680-ton _Pennsylvania_ class armored cruiser, was built at San Francisco, California. She was commissioned in August 1907, and spent the next ten years serving in the Pacific. _California_ regularly operated along the North American west coast, with occasional cruises to Hawaii and other oceanic islands. In 1912, she briefly deployed to the western Pacific for service on the Asiatic Station.
In September 1914 _California_ was renamed _San Diego_ to make her original name available for assignment to a battleship. She frequently was employed as Pacific Fleet flagship between then and July 1917, when she was sent to the Atlantic for World War I service. _San Diego_ operated as a convoy escort in the North Atlantic until 19 July 1918, when she was torpedoed and sunk off Fire Island, New York, by the German submarine _U-156_
