The USS San Francisco Memorial is a war memorial installed in San Francisco's Lands End, in the U.S. state of California.[1][2] The memorial has a plaque commemorating the approximately 100 sailors and seven Marines who died aboard the cruiser USS San Francisco.[3][4] The memorial is notable for being formed partially from the bridge of ship itself, showing some of the extensive damage received in battle.
