As the Indiana, Massachusetts, and

vessels has not been determined, but
they probably will be stripped and sold

Texas.
The name Indiana will be assigned to

others in 1916 and which is to be built
at the New York navy yard. The

be given to ba~ttleships Nos. 80 n %,

In reassigning the names Of the three

ton being the Kearsarge launched al

named for the Civil war frigate which
destroyed the Confederate ship Ala
