USS Vincennes (CL-64)
The third USS ''Vincennes'' (CL-64) was a ''Cleveland''-class light cruiser of the United States Navy that saw action in the Pacific during the later half of World War II.
==Construction and commissioning==
She was originally laid down as ''Flint'' (CL-64) on 7 March 1942 at Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation's Fore River Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts. While the ship was under construction, however, the Battle of Savo Island occurred in August 1942, during which engagement the heavy cruiser ''Vincennes'' (CA-44) had been sunk. In order to perpetuate the name, ''Flint'' was renamed ''Vincennes'' on 16 October 1942. Launched on 17 July 1943, ''Vincennes'' was sponsored by Mrs. Arthur A. Osborn, the former Miss Harriet V. Kimmell, who had sponsored the first cruiser of the name.
Commissioned on 21 January 1944, Capt. Arthur D. Brown in command, ''Vincennes'' fitted-out at her builders' yard into late February, undergoing her sea trials soon thereafter. From 25 February to the last day of March, ''Vincennes'' sailed to the British West Indies and back on her shakedown cruise. With brief stopovers in the Chesapeake Bay region, the new light cruiser "shook down" principally in the Gulf of Paria, near Trinidad.
