USS "Kentucky" (BB-66) was an uncompleted battleship originally intended to be the second ship of the "Montana" class .
 However, the U.S. Navy's experiences in World War II led it to conclude that rather than more battleships larger and more heavily armed than the "Iowa" class , it needed more fast battleships of that class to escort the new "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s being built.
 As a result, hull BB-66 was reordered as an "Iowa"-class battleship midway through the war.
Rear Adm. J. Edward Snyder, USN (Ret.)
 (October 23, 1924 – November 4, 2007) was notable as the captain of the battleship USS "New Jersey" during that ship's deployment to the Vietnam War in 1968.
 Considered by those serving on the "New Jersey" to be a "sailor's captain," Captain Snyder was able to motivate his men through his more relaxed shipboard policies.
USS "New Jersey" (BB-62) ("Big J" or "Black Dragon") is an "Iowa"-class battleship , and was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named after the US state of New Jersey.
 "New Jersey" earned more battle stars for combat actions than the other three completed "Iowa"-class battleships, and was the only US battleship providing gunfire support during the Vietnam War.
USS "Washington" (BB-47), a "Colorado"-class battleship , was the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 42nd state.
 Her keel was laid down on 30 June 1919 at Camden, New Jersey, by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation.
 She was launched on 1 September 1921, sponsored by Miss Jean Summers, the daughter of Congressman John W. Summers of Washington.
USS "Iowa" (BB-61) is the lead ship of her class of battleship and the fourth in the United States Navy to be named after the state of Iowa.
 Owing to the cancellation of the "Montana"-class battleship s, "Iowa" is the last lead ship of any class of United States battleships and was the only ship of her class to have served in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II.
USS "Idaho" (Battleship No. 24), the second ship of the "Mississippi"-class battleship s, was the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the US state of Idaho.
 After her career in the USN, she was sold to Greece and renamed "Lemnos" in 1914.
 "Lemnos" was sunk by German bombers in April 1941.
 "Idaho" and her sister "Mississippi" were designed in response to Congressional desire to cap the growth and expense of new battleships, whose size and cost had increased dramatically since the first US battleships, the "Indiana" s of 1893, had been authorized.
 Displacement was limited to 13000 LT , a reduction of from the prior "Connecticut" class .
USNS "Neptune" (ARC-2), was the lead ship in her class of cable repair ships in U.S. Naval service.
 The ship was built by Pusey & Jones Corp. of Wilmington, Delaware, Hull Number 1108, as the USACS "William H. G. Bullard" named for Rear Adm. William H. G. Bullard.
 She was the first of two Maritime Commission type S3-S2-BP1 ships built for the US Army near the end of World War II.
 The other ship was the "Albert J. Myer", which later joined her sister ship in naval service as the USNS "Albert J. Myer".
 The ship was built by Pusey & Jones Corp. of Wilmington, Delaware as Hull Number 1108.
Battleship Memorial Park is a military history park and museum located on the western shore of Mobile Bay in Mobile, Alabama.
 It has a collection of notable aircraft and museum ships including the "South Dakota"-class battleship USS "Alabama" and "Gato"-class submarine USS "Drum" .
 The USS "Alabama" and USS "Drum" are both National Historic Landmarks; the park as a whole was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage prior to that time, on October 28, 1977.
USS "Vermont" (BB-20), a "Connecticut"-class battleship , was the second ship of the United States Navy named after the 14th state.
 She was the third member of the class, which included five other ships.
 The "Connecticut"-class ships were armed with a main battery of four 12 in guns and had a top speed of 19 kn .
 "Vermont" was laid down in May 1904 at the Fore River shipyard and launched in August 1905.
 The ship entered service with the Atlantic Fleet in March 1907.
USS "Midway" (CVB/CVA/CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class.
 Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, "Midway" was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal.
 A revolutionary hull design, based on the planned "Montana"-class battleship , gave her enhanced protection compared to previous carriers.
 She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991's Operation Desert Storm.
 Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS "Midway" Museum, in San Diego, California, and the only remaining U.S. aircraft carrier commissioned right after World War II ended that was not an "Essex"-class aircraft carrier .
