Uss United States
Four ships of the
United States Navy
have bore the name
USS ''United States
'' in honor of
that nation
, but only one of them was launched, and it became part of the
Confederate Navy
.
The first
United States
was a sailing
frigate
that saw action during the
War of 1812
and was later captured and commissioned by the
Confederate States of America
during the
American Civil War
, thus becoming the "Confederate States' Ship
United States
."
The second
USS
United States
(CC-6)
, a
Lexington
-class battlecruiser
, was cancelled and scrapped when the vessel was only 12.1 percent complete.
The third
USS
United States
(CVA-58)
was to be an
aircraft carrier
of radically new design, but was cancelled five days after her keel was laid down.
CVN-75 was laid down as the fourth
United States
, but was renamed
Harry S. Truman
during construction.
