• The first Alabama was a 74-gun ship of the line, started in 1818, though never completed as such. She was eventually launched in 1864 as the storeship New Hampshire.

• The second Alabama (BB-8) was a battleship commissioned in 1900 and scrapped in 1924.

• The third Alabama (BB-60) was a battleship commissioned 1942 and converted to a museum ship in 1964.

• The fourth Alabama (SSBN 731) is an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine.
