As built, the Portland-class cruisers were designed for a standard displacement of 10,258 long tons (10,423 t), and a full-load displacement of 12,755 long tons (12,960 t).[9] However, when completed, Indianapolis did not reach this weight, displacing 9,950 long tons (10,110 t).[10] The ship had two distinctive raked funnels, a tripod foremast, and a small tower and pole mast aft.
