List of United States Navy ships named after US states

The table below shows commissioned US Navy ships named after one of the fifty states of the United States of America. If a state has no in-commission ship named for it, the most recently decommissioned ship is noted.

Thirty in-commission ships are named after US states. Fifteen states have ships that are under construction.

The Virginia-class submarine building program envisions a class size of over thirty ships. Virginia-class submarines are, with two exceptions (USS John Warner (SSN-785) and USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795)), named after US states. As of June 2016, twenty-eight of the planned class of thirty+ hulls have been named.
