CL is the US Navy hull classification symbol for a light cruiser — a type of medium warship smaller and faster than a heavy cruiser but with significant firepower. The designation was used throughout the early-to-mid 20th century in the US and other navies. As a pure abbreviation, it belongs to naval and military technical vocabulary. As a dictionary entry its value lies mainly in clarifying this specific naval abbreviation for readers unfamiliar with US Navy hull classification codes.
