The USS Saint Paul (CA-73) was a Baltimore-class heavy cruiser serving the U.S. Navy from 1945 to 1971, participating in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, earning 18 battle stars and firing the last shots of WWII and the Korean War. Known as the "Long Range? You Haven't Seen Long Range," she was present at the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, provided crucial shore bombardment in Korea, and supported operations in Vietnam before being decommissioned and sold for scrap in 1980. #
