USS Louisville (CA-28) was a Northampton-class heavy cruiser of the United States Navy. She survived the war, left commission in 1946, and was sold years afterward.
On 25 October 1944 she was at the Battle of Surigao Strait as Jesse Barrett Oldendorf's flagship with the cruisers on the left flank. Oldendorf had flown his flag in Louisville since January 1944. Samuel Hansford Hurt, her captain from 5 January 1944, commanded the ship.
Her captains are recorded from the early 1930s onward. Edward J. Marquart held command from 15 January 1931 until he was relieved on 4 December 1932. Bruce Livingston Canaga was captain from 4 October 1932 until 9 April 1934, when George Vanderburgh Stewart took over. Stewart was relieved on 9 November 1935 by William Sims Farber, who remained until 8 May 1937.

Joy was relieved on 24 June 1943 by Alexander Somerville Wotherspoon, who in turn was relieved on 5 January 1944 by Hurt. Hurt remained after Surigao Strait until 15 December 1944, when Rex LeGrande Hicks assumed command. Hicks was relieved on 19 October 1945.
