[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] USS Montana is sort of an unlucky name. A USS Montana (BB-51) was under construction but was cancelled before completion in 1922. The name was then assigned to a planned battleship, which was cancelled in 1943 before construction began. There was an armoured cruiser named Montana (ACR-13), that was later renamed USS Missoula (CA-13; which, for you fer'ners, is a town in Montana) to make way for BB-51. So, if they give "Montana" to another ship, it'll probably be cancelled! For the curious (or bored), this site has info on all Navy ships named after states: http://www.greatwhitefleet.org/pride/start.html The Royal Navy does occassionally use theme names for ships, while still reusing names. For example, Trafalgar-class SSNs all have names starting with the letter T (Turbulent, Tireless, Torbay, Trenchant, Talent, and Triumph) and Swiftsure-class subs all start with the letter S (Sovereign, Superb, Sceptre, Spartan, Splendid).
