Before Alaska became a state, the U.S. Navy named a new fleet of battlecruisers in its honor. The Alaska class included six planned ships, but only the USS Alaska and USS Guam were completed. Built to counter German and Japanese threats, these ships were significantly larger than previous cruisers.
The USS Constellation (CV-64), affectionately known as “America’s Flagship,” served as a Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier introduced in the early 1960s during the U.S. Navy's expansion of advanced carriers post-World War II. She was built to defeat America's enemies anywhere on the planet.
