Tuscaloosa! I've always really liked this ship so I'm happy to see her in game. She'll probably have a pretty high luck stat, she was never damaged once in all of her history.

The fact that her service was entirely in the Atlantic? If anything, her luck should be comparable to Ranger's which is *checks* also 20.
Tuscaloosa transferred to the Pacific Theater after Operation Dragoon, in time for her to see action at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. There's plenty about her aside from her combat service that also screams a blessed ship. I recommend reading up on her.

Just read up on the Wikipedia page and honestly, it seems to be overhyping her "near misses". In fact, I would dare say that her having similar luck to Aoba, Jun'you, Ushio, and Littorio (who got hit by a guided bomb that malfunctioned) is rather insulting to them.

Three time presidential flagship that was present for the major operations that the US participated in the Atlantic, including serving with the British Home Fleet, faced all of the adversaries that a US ship could be expected to encounter save for the Italians without so much as getting her paint chipped. While she didn't beat as long of odds as Yukikaze, she and her crew were by all rights more fortunate than most "lucky" ships. You certainly wouldn't mind letting her draw your new years fortune for you.
Does Sammy B count? Her namesake was a southerner, and I think she was built in Houston.
Samuel B. Roberts was born in San Fran. You're thinking of Heywood L. Edwards, born in San Saba, TX and KIA aboard USS Reuben James (DD-245) in October 1941 after a U-boat attack.
I don't think it's where the ship was built/launched/commissioned that matters so much. It's all in the name. The ship is imbued with the spirit of whatever or whoever it's named for.
