• The first Chattanooga was a steam sloop in use from 1866 to 1871.

• The second Chattanooga (C-16) was a cruiser in service from 1904 to 1921.

• Chattanooga (PF-65) was renamed to Uniontown on 18 August 1944, before commissioning.

• The keel of Chattanooga (CL-118) was laid 9 October 1944 by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Virginia, but construction was cancelled 12 August 1945, prior to launching.
