Only one ship of the United States Navy has been named USS Tallahassee, after the city of Tallahassee, Florida, but two others were projected to carry the name.
The first USS Tallahassee (BM-9) was an Ozark-class monitor used as a submarine tender during World War I, originally named USS Florida and later redesignated IX-16.
The second USS Tallahassee (CL-61) was converted from a Cleveland-class light cruiser to the Independence-class aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CVL-23) before launching.
The third USS Tallahassee (CL-116) was a Fargo-class light cruiser that was cancelled before launching.
