At 9:31, St. Louis moved away from the pier and headed for South Channel and the open sea. 15 minutes later, her 6 in (150 mm) guns, whose power leads had been disconnected, were in full operating order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the cruiser moved into the channel entrance, she became the target of a midget submarine.
