Happy Anniversary to The Arcade! ✨
Opened on May 30, 1890, The Arcade Cleveland was one of America’s first indoor shopping centers and quickly earned the nickname Cleveland’s Crystal Palace.

The USS Cleveland entered active service in the U.S. Navy on the lakefront of its namesake city, marking the first time in the nation’s history that a U.S. warship was commissioned in Ohio. The USS Cleveland is the Navy’s newest Littoral Combat Ship and the final Freedom-class variant to be commissioned.
The motto of the new USS Cleveland, “Forge a Legacy,” honors Cleveland’s industrial heritage and the strength of its people. The innovative spirit that helped make this city into a manufacturing powerhouse continues to propel our region—and our nation—into the future.
From Cleveland-Cliffs steel to Sherwin-Williams coatings, local companies across Greater Cleveland contributed materials and expertise to the ship’s construction.
The ship will depart Cleveland on May 19 and sail through the St. Lawrence Seaway to its home port in Jacksonville, Florida.
The USS Cleveland has officially arrived in Cleveland ahead of next week’s historic commissioning ceremony.
For the first time in U.S. history, a Navy warship will be commissioned in Ohio. The Freedom-class littoral combat ship is built for speed, agility, and advanced near-shore operations, continuing a legacy carried by three previous USS Cleveland vessels.
