{{WoWs_Ship|Promo=

|Anno=
A typical "big" cruiser of the pre-dreadnought era. The ship was armed with numerous artillery, whose rate of fire was quite rapid for her time, and an armor belt protecting the propulsion, but featured only moderate speed.


|Performance=
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.

|Pros=
* 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=
* Low top speed - barely faster than ''[[South Carolina]]''
* Slow reload for her tier and higher dispersion (less accurate)
* Negligible anti-air capabilities - because it is Tier III, it will most likely see carriers ''[[Langley]]'' and ''[[Hosho]]''; will have no self-defense.
* 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.

|Research=
This is a suggested research path:
# St. Louis (B) Hull
# 152 mm/50 Mk6 main batteries mod. 2
# Mk3 FCS mod. 2

|Upgrades=
The recommended upgrades for ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' are as follows:
* '''Slot 1''': {{Main Armaments Modification 1}} keeps the guns active and firing.
* '''Slot 2''': {{Damage Control System Modification 1}} the ship takes a lot of HE shell hits, this helps decrease the amount of fires set.

As a Tier III USN cruiser, ''{{#var:ship_name}}'' has access to only {{Damage Control Party}}.

|Camouflage=
The St. Louis is one of the 3 tier III ships to have a premium [[Ship:Camouflage|camouflage]] known as "Igor", the Halloween variant of the St. Louis, which was available for limited time through Halloween crates earned from the Scenario "Sunray in the Darkness" and through the Premium shop.

As a Tier III ship, it is highly recommended to save signals for use in the later tiers. But should the player have a surplus and enjoy playing this ship, they should utilize the following recommended signals.

===History===

====Design====

====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.

''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.
