Yes, maybe the information is not clear. About the USN cruisers sunken by IJN submarines we have

-CL-52 Juneau sunk the 13 November 1942 by I-26 (in this ship were loss the five brothers Sullivans ; after this terrible fate , orders were issues to not assign brothers to the same ship.The Fletcher DD-537 "The Sullivans" was named to honor their memory )

-CA-35 Indianapolis sunk the 30 July 1945 by I-58(LtC Mochitsura Hashimoto had wrong identified the cruisers as a Battleship of New Mexico Class).Indianapolis was in his return travel after had just carried component of an atomic bomb to Tinian and was steaming unerscorted from Guam to Okinawa.

-CL-96 Reno was heavy damaged the 03-11-44 by I-41 ,but the ship survived the attack

-CA-27 Chester was heavy damaged the 20 October 1942 by I-176, but the ship also survived and after nearly a year of reparation works return to service.

Yes, actually only Indianapolis was a CA , Juneau was a CL .Post corrected.

Regards
