USS Nebraska (BB-14) USS "Nebraska" (BB-14) was a "Virginia"-class pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, the second of five members of the class, and the first ship to carry her name. She was built by the Moran Brothers shipyard in Seattle, Washington, with her keel laying in July 1902 and her launching in October 1904. Slipping into the water eleven minutes ahead of schedule, her quick thinking sponsor, Mary Nain Mickey, the daughter of Nebraska state governor John H. Mickey, still managed to christen her before she slipped out of reach. The completed ship was commissioned into the US Navy in July 1907. The ship was armed with an offensive battery of four 12 in guns and eight 8 in guns, and she was capable of a top speed of 19 kn .

Dreadnought The dreadnought was the predominant type of battleship in the early 20th century. The first of its kind, the Royal Navy's "Dreadnought" , made such a strong impression on people's minds when launched in 1906 that similar battleships built subsequently were referred to generically as "dreadnoughts", and earlier battleships became known as "pre-dreadnoughts". "Dreadnought"' s design had two revolutionary features: an "all-big-gun" armament scheme, with more heavy-calibre guns than previous ships, and steam turbine propulsion. As dreadnoughts became a symbol of national power, the arrival of these new warships was a crucial catalyst in the intensifying naval arms race between the United Kingdom and Germany. With the launch of a single ship, "Dreadnought", the scales of naval power were reset overnight. As a result, dreadnought races sprang up around the world, including in South America, during the lead up to World War I. Successive designs increased rapidly in size and made use of improvements in armament, armour, and propulsion throughout the dreadnought era. Within five years, new battleships had outclassed "Dreadnought". These more powerful vessels were known as "super-dreadnoughts". Most of the original dreadnoughts were scrapped after the end of World War I under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, but many of the newer super-dreadnoughts continued to be used throughout World War II. The only surviving dreadnought is USS "Texas" , located near the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site.

USS New Hampshire (BB-25) "New Hampshire" (BB-25) was the sixth and final "Connecticut"-class pre-dreadnought battleship, the last vessel of that type built for the United States Navy. Like most contemporary battleships, she was armed with an offensive armament that consisted of four large-caliber 12 in guns and several medium-caliber 7 and 8-inch (178 and 203 mm) guns. The ship was laid down in May 1905, launched in June 1906, and commissioned in March 1908, a little over a year after the revolutionary all-big-gun HMS "Dreadnought" rendered ships like "New Hampshire" obsolescent.

USS Henry T. Allen (APA-15) USS "Henry T. Allen was built as Wenatchee for the United States Shipping Board (USSB), one of the planned World War I troop transports converted during construction into passenger and cargo vessels, the Emergency Fleet Corporation Design 1029 ships. The ship was laid down as "C. M. Schwab" and perhaps assigned the name "Beaver State" at one point, but renamed "Wenatchee" before launch and one of only a few of the design not taking a state nickname. Originally "Wenatchee" was operated by the USSB's agents, the Pacific Steamship Company. A mass renaming in the spring of 1921 of all the Design 1095 and Design 1029 ships that had been constructed from keel laying on as passenger and cargo ships with state nicknames as names, the "State" ships, the ship became President Jefferson". The ship was in commercial service until laid up in 1938.

USS New York (1776) New York (1776) was a gunboat (also known as a Gundalow) built in 1776 at Skenesboro, New York. It was originally called "Success" prior to launch for service in General Benedict Arnold's fleet on Lake Champlain. "New York" may be named after the City of New York, because other ships in the fleet were named after cities, however, it could be named after the State of New York, because at least one or two other ships, "Connecticut" and "Jersey" , sometimes referred to as "New Jersey", were named after states.

Her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. She was launched on July 16, 1944 sponsored by Mrs. Howard R. Doyle, and commissioned December 4, 1944 with Commander W. T. Griffith in command.
