Default USS Raleigh

Hey all,
As I mentioned before, I am retired Navy. My last ship was the USS Raleigh (LPD-1). One of the projects that I would like to attempt eventually is to build each of the Raleigh's that served the United States. I know only of the Colonial frigate Raleigh, the light cruiser Raleigh from WW II, and the above mentioned LPD. Does anyone know of any other Raleigh's.
Thanks for any help.

According to the US Naval ships registry there was a USS Raleigh (CL7) Omaha classlight cruiser 1924-1946 and a Cincinnatti class cruiser (C8 ) 1894-1921. Pictures of both at: http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/.../usnsh-r/c8.htm

Hope this helped
Pete
