As a suggestion, it would be helpful to know what type of ship this was supposed to be. If that were found somewhere in the first paragraph, the article would be more...easily understood, ...in context?
This St. Louis was a Light Cruiser.
She earned the nickname "Lucky Lou" during her WWII service.
The on-board "newsletter" was called the "Hubble Bubble".
More info: http://www.ussstlouis.com/ http://mywebpage.netscape.com/swede51/CL-49.html
Fate: Transfered to the Brazilian Navy and commissioned on 29 JAN 1951 as TAMANDARE.
TAMANDARE (C-12) was stricken from the Brazilian Navy in 1976. Sold to breakers four years later, she foundered 24 August 1980 off South Africa while under tow to Taiwan.
E-mail from former TAMANDARE surgeon, Dr. Amadeu Zullino of Amparo, Brazil.

An inauspicious discussion of the ship's use by the Brazilians can be found in Time magazine:
Maybe someone with a copy of that book ought to have a look see and then mark this article as in violation? -- Pat ( talk) 06:21, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
All of the calibers for the guns on this ship have a metric conversion for the calibers that's outright incorrect, it lists 6" as 150mm instead of 152mm, 5" as 130mm instead of 127mm, and .50 as 13mm instead of 12.7mm, could a more experienced editor please help to correct this? There's scripting in there that I really don't want to touch due to not knowing how they work

According to DANFS the USN considers this and HELENA a separate class, not the 8th and 9th BROOKLYN class. Brooksindy ( talk) 09:06, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
This is patently false. I have not seen a single RS outside of USN documents that treat them as a separate class. If there are any, the onus on those who want to treat these ships as distinct to provide them. In any event, this was discussed at Talk:Brooklyn-class cruiser, and further discussion should continue there. Parsecboy ( talk) 14:20, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
