Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Mai i te Haratua ki te Hakihea o te tau 1941 i whakahoutia a "Delhi" hei kaipuke parekura rererangi i te Brooklyn Navy Yard. I whakauruhia tenei whakahoutanga &lt;a href="5%26quot%3B/38%20caliber%20gun"&gt;5-inihi/38 caliber gun&lt;/a&gt; i hangaia mo te kaipuke whakangaromanga a US, a i kowhiria e te rangatira rangatira o "Edison", engari i whakawhitihia ki "Delhi" i runga i nga tohutohu tika a te Perehitini Roosevelt. Na tana patu matua hou e rua nga kaupapa, i whakawhiwhia e ia te kohuru o te takutai me te tautoko AA mo te maha o nga whakaekenga a Allied i te Moana-a-Kiwa, (
Ko Algiers, Sicily, Salerno me nga Anzio Landings). I te 20 o Whiringa-a-rangi 1942 i whara te "Delhi" i te mahi a te hoariri i te Bay o Algiers i te wa i pupuhihia ai tana tuara e te poma i tukuna e nga rererangi Itari. E rua ngā kaimahi i mate i te whakaekenga. I hoki ia ki Ingarangi, a, i te wa o te whakatika tae noa ki Aperira 1943.
