Question

what is the uss ship for texas and florida?? (example uss arizona)

Answer 1

Yes, the Texas was a battleship, and the Florida is a Trident class submarine. There have been six vessels named the Florida in the US Navy, including a battleship in WWI.

Answer 2

The first Texas was the Navy's first battleship, which served from 1895 until 1911.
The second Texas (BB-35) was a dreadnought battleship that served in both World Wars.
The third Texas (DLGN/CGN-39) was the second Virginia-class nuclear guided missile cruiser.
The fourth Texas (SSN-775) was commissioned on September 9, 2006 and is the second Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine.

At least seven United States Navy ships have borne the name Florida, in honor of the 27th state:

The first Florida was a sloop that served on survey duty between 1824 and 1831. Her final cruise, between 1 June 1830 and 31 May 1831, was under the command of Lieutenant T. R. Gedney.
The second Florida was a side-wheel steamer purchased in 1861 and sold after 1867.
The third Florida was originally the screw frigate Wampanoag renamed in 1869, and sold in 1885.
A fourth USS Florida was present at the Battle of Tayacoba during the Spanish-American War in 1898.
The fifth Florida (BM-9) was a monitor commissioned in 1903, renamed to Tallahassee in 1908, and sold in 1922.
The sixth Florida (BB-30) was a battleship commissioned 1911 and scrapped in 1932.
The seventh Florida (SSGN-728) is an Ohio-class missile submarine, commissioned in 1983.

Answer 5

I think Chief Mac gave the best answer...

Just FYI... pre-WWII thru the 1980's STATES names were put on battleships, and later on Trident Missile subs.

State Capital names were given to Gun Cruisers.

Destroyers and Frigates are typically named after naval heros

Ammunition ships were once named after volcanos
