USS United States (CC-6)
USS United States (CC-6) was a
Lexington-class battlecruiser. Her keel was laid down
25 September 1920 by the
Philadelphia Navy Yard; however, her construction was halted on
8 February 1922 when the vessel was only 12.1 percent complete. Under the terms of the
Washington Naval Treaty for the Limitation of Naval Armaments of
1922, the unfinished hulk of
United States was sold on
25 October 1923 for scrap.
