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. She was originally laid down as Flint (CL-64) on 7 March 1942 at Quincy, Massachusetts, by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company's Fore River plant. 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.
