New Navy Warship To Receive Name “USS Arizona”

December 23, 2019

PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey today released the following statement after the announcement from Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly that a new warship will be given the name “USS Arizona.” No Navy ship has carried that name since the USS Arizona was sunk at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

“Today is a proud day for Arizona,” said Governor Ducey. “It’s been nearly 80 years since the attacks on Pearl Harbor, which resulted in the sinking of the USS Arizona and deaths of 1,177 of her crewmembers. This ship and the name, 'USS Arizona,' hold special meaning for our country, its history and the people of Arizona — and today, that legacy begins a new chapter. The commissioning of a new warship named Arizona honors our past—including those who have given their lives in service to our country—and our future and recognizes Arizona’s important contributions to our nation and its defense. Arizona thanks Acting Secretary Modly for this honor and we look forward to the official commissioning of the new USS Arizona."

Me neither.  That being said, I don’t like naming ships after people, neither. They should be named after states or cities.  But like uniforms, there are some that should be retired, and the Arizona is one of them.

The new Arizona will be a Virginia class attack submarine (SSN). With that class the USN started naming ships after states again, a naming convention they has ceased when the USN ceased building battleships. It looks like there may also be an SSN built and named USS Oklahoma.

Naming new ships after ships sunk has been common in the USN - submarines, destroyers, and cruisers especially. The USS Maine sunk in Havanna harbor was not the last battleship named USS Maine.

The second Maine (Battleship No. 10) was laid down by William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., 15 February 1899, a year to the day after the destruction of the first Maine; launched 27 July 1901; sponsored by Miss Mary Preble Anderson; and commissioned at Philadelphia 29 December 1902, Capt. Eugene H. C. Leutze in command.

Having two ships with the same name should be a problem, and I think the USS Arizona is still commissioned.  I could be wrong....

Between WW1 and WW2 (and before) the naming convention was:

Battleships - states
Battle Cruisers (none finished as such) - Revolutionary war battles and famous historic USN ships
Cruisers - Cities
Destroyers - Distinguish naval heroes and sailors/officers who had died in battle
Submarines - Fish and sea creatures

Before and in WW2:

Aircraft Carriers (CVs and CVLs) took on the Battle Cruiser convention and extended it to include battles from other wars
Destroyer Escorts followed the convention for Destroyers

After:

Though there was USS Forrestal, the USS John F. Kennedy started the convention of naming carriers after leaders and Presidents.
Early ballistic missile submarines were named after heroes, but that changed with the Ohio class; not sure if there is a new class of boomers in the works.
Early nuclear attack submarines continued the fishy naming convention, but the switched to cities, and now to states.

I looked it up, and the Arizona was decommissioned.  I still don't like it, and the Governor is being a foole.
