[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] [i]Iowa[/i] hasn't been in commission since 1994 or so. The "reused class name" thing has come up again recently. In the mid-70s, the USN commissioned the [i]Virginia[/i]-class nuclear guided-missile cruisers--[i]Virginia[/i], [i]Texas[/i], [i]Mississippi[/i], & [i]Arkansas[/i]; they were all decommissioned & stricken from the Navy list in the early & mid-90s. Now, EB has gotten the contracts to build the NSSN, also called the SSN-774 class. The lead boats in the class are--you guessed it--SSN-774 [i]Virginia[/i] & SSN-775 [i]Texas[/i], with SSN-776 [i]Hawaii[/i] & an as-yet-unnamed SSN-777 following on. [/QB][/QUOTE]
