USS Connecticut
Five ships of the
United States Navy have been named
USS Connecticut in honor of
the fifth state.
Pompanoosuc, a screw steamer, was renamed
Connecticut while still in the ways; she was condemned and broken up before ever being launched.
A monitor was named Connecticut while under construction, but was commissioned as Nevada. A few year later, she was renamed Tonopah, and served as a submarine tender under that name during World War I.
