Who We Are
The Saint Paul Association was established in 1984 by former Saint Paul crew members Hank Koehler and Ike Alliger, who wished to commemorate the USS Saint Paul CA-73 and to renew and maintain the deep friendships developed by former shipmates during their time onboard. The association has held bi-annual reunions since the mid 1980’s.
The Roving Saint, a quarterly publication, is received by all members. The association has also opened its membership to former crewmen of the USS Minneapolis -Saint Paul SSN-708 and all former members of the US Navy Cruiser Sailors Association which ceased operations 2022.
Saint Paul, known to its crew as the “Fighting Saint” participated in three wars, served its country honorably for 26 years [1945-1971] in both war and peace. She is believed to have fired more rounds of naval gunfire at our enemies than any US Navy cruiser. Truly a distinguished ship of the line. Today there are over 1300 association members still active .
