Uss California

• The first USS California was a screw sloop originally named Minnetonka.
• The second USS California (ACR-6), a Pennsylvania-class armored cruiser later renamed San Diego, saw action escorting convoys during World War I.

• The third USS California (SP-249), originally a yacht named Hauoli, served during World War I as a motor patrol boat in New York City Harbor and as an experimental platform used by Thomas Edison to test underwater listening devices.
• The fourth USS California (SP-647) served during World War I as a motor patrol boat in San Francisco Harbor.
• The fifth USS California (BB-44), a Tennessee-class battleship, saw action in World War II.
