The American Line steamship St. Louis (q.v.), after seeing naval service during the Spanish‑American War under her merchant name, was taken over for a second time on 26 April 1918, renamed USS Louisville (SP-1644) and commissioned on 27 April 1918. Following several round‑trip voyages to Europe as a troop transport, USS Louisville (SP-1644) decommissioned and was returned to her owner on 11 September 1919.
