Uss ConnecticutFive ships of the United States Navy have been named USS ''Connecticut'' in honor of Connecticut, the fifth state to join the Union: In addition to the five ships officially and permanently named USS Connecticut, there were two that had the name at one point: - 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.
