Information About

Uss United States

The first ''United States'' was a sailing Frigate that saw action during the War Of 1812 and was later captured and commissioned by the Confederate States Of America during the American Civil War , thus becoming the "Confederate States' Ship ''United States''."

The second USS ''United States'' (CC-6) , a ''Lexington''-class Battlecruiser , was cancelled and scrapped when the vessel was only 12.1 percent complete.

The third USS ''United States'' (CVA-58) was to be an Aircraft Carrier of radically new design, but was cancelled five days after her keel was laid down.

CVN-75 was laid down as the fourth ''United States'', but was renamed ''Harry S. Truman'' during construction.
