Initially, plans were made to build three cruisers of the "improved Olympia" class. However, during the design phase, the cruisers grew in size, their armor got stronger, and the number of artillery guns they carried was increased as well. The final configuration featured 152 mm guns. Before World War I, USS St. Louis was assigned to the Pacific Fleet. During the war, her duties included escorting troop convoys and transporting persons of high standing.</p><p> </p></div>

===Pros===
* High health pool
* Large amount of main battery guns


|Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
===Cons===
More pocket battleship than cruiser, new players and experienced hands alike will enjoy this ship's high firepower but dislike it's slow top speed. With the decent fire rate and and large volume of shells, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is effective against all opponents, even at long range. When fighting enemy battleships, one should "rake" them - target the front, center, and back sections in turn to maximize your chances of setting multiple fires. Players should stay vigilant for enemy torpedoes as ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' doesn't have great rudder shift time. Additionally, players should not need to activate {{Damage Control Party}} for any knocked main battery, as the ship still has another seven main batteries constantly firing. ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' is one of the few cruisers that can take on an equal Tier battleship on relatively even terms (especially the underpowered ''[[South Carolina]]''). It can even prove a threat to the Tier IV ships.
* Low speed
* High detectability


|Pros=<!-- write list of positive points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
* Has the most hit points of any Tier III cruiser - almost comparable to its fellow Tier III USN battleship ''[[South Carolina]]'' battleship
* The most main batteries and secondaries of any Tier III cruiser - boasts a whopping 14x1 152mm guns and 18x1 76.2mm guns, while its Tier III VMF cruiser counterpart ''[[Bogatyr]]'' has as many but only 130mm, fire, and turn slower. Additionally, due to the side mounted guns, it allows for flexibility and quick reaction to switching targets from either side.
* Better than average gun range for her tier.
* Good turning radius.


|Cons=<!-- write list of negative points below. use * as in ordinary wiki-list. -->
==Ship Stats==
* Low top speed - barely faster than ''[[South Carolina]]''

<div style="border: 2px solid rgba(212,175,55,0.8); border-radius: 3px; margin-bottom: 1em; overflow: hidden;">
* Negligible anti-air capabilities - because it is Tier III, it will most likely see carriers ''[[Langley]]'' and ''[[Hosho]]''; will have no self-defense.
{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* Side mounted guns means only a maximum of eight out of the fourteen primary guns can be used on a single target when broadside, and even fewer when facing directly ahead or rearward.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:0; color:inherit; width:100%"
* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} keeps the guns active and firing.

====Service====
USS ''St. Louis'' was the lead ship of her class of protected cruisers. Laid down on 31 July 31 1902 and launched on 4 May 1905, she spent until August 1906 fitting out and was then commissioned into service.  She was designated as "C-20", the 20th protected cruiser of the United States Navy.


The first ten years of her career ''St. Louis'' spent in the Pacific, where she served multiple purposes. The first six years she was a training ship; in 1914, she was designated as a receiving ship for new cadets to live on. Two years later, in 1916, she was used as a submarine support ship.

With the entrance of the US into World War I in 1917, ''St. Louis'' was sent to the Atlantic to serve as an escort and transport vessel. After the armistice and subsequent end of the war, she transported numerous American soldiers back home from Europe.  After being re-numbered as "CA-18" in July 1920, she departed for the Mediterranean as there was a great turmoil in Turkey, and the Civil War in Russia was still raging on.  ''St. Louis'' returned from this mission in 1921.

</gallery>[[File:Stlouisinport.png|thumb]]</div></div></div>


''St. Louis'' was decommissioned on 3 March 1922, and served as a reserve ship for the next eight years.  The London Naval Treaty of 1930 put limits onto the total tonnage of cruisers that the treaty nations were permitted; as a result, older ships and reserve vessels were selected for disposal.  In August 1930, ''St. Louis'' and her sister ships were sold for scrap.

St. Louis — U.S.A. Tech Tree Tier III Cruiser.

Following the end of the Spanish-American War, the U.S. Congress enacted several laws to bolster its naval strength. Initially, plans were made to build three cruisers of the "improved Olympia" class. However, during the design phase, the cruisers grew in size, their armor got stronger, and the number of artillery guns they carried was increased as well. The final configuration featured 152 mm guns. Before World War I, USS St. Louis was assigned to the Pacific Fleet. During the war, her duties included escorting troop convoys and transporting persons of high standing.
