The fourth '''USS ''Philadelphia'' (C-4)''' (later '''IX-24''') was the sixth [[protected cruiser]] of the [[United States Navy]]. Although designed by the Navy Department, her hull was similar to the preceding British-designed {{USS|Baltimore|C-3|2}}, but ''Philadelphia'' had a uniform main armament of twelve 6-inch guns.<ref name=Conways1>Gardiner and Chesneau, p. 152</ref><ref name=Register1>Bauer and Roberts, p. 143</ref><ref name=Friedman1>Friedman, pp. 26–27, 460</ref>
