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. In order to perpetuate the name, Flint was renamed Vincennes on 16 October 1942. Launched on 17 July 1943, Vincennes was sponsored by Mrs. Arthur A. Osborn, the former Miss Harriet V. Kimmell, who had sponsored the first cruiser of the name.
