Controversy concerning time in Indiana has caused a change in the time zone of Vincennes on three different occasions since the Standard Time Act of 1918. Legacy The Revolutionary War battle at Vincennes was featured in the 1901 novel Alice of Old Vincennes by Maurice Thompson. Four ships have also been named in honor of this battle; as well as for the city. The first was an 18-gun sloop-of-war commissioned in 1826 and sold in 1867. The second was a heavy cruiser commissioned in 1937 and lost in the Battle of Savo Island in 1942. The third was a light cruiser commissioned in 1944 and decommissioned in 1946. The fourth and most recent was a guided missile cruiser commissioned in 1985 which was decommissioned and scrapped in 2005.
