Well since we haven’t built any new battleships in 70+ years and never will again (barring some unforseen revolution in naval warfare), your position amounts to saying no USN ships shall ever be named after states. I’m fine with naming great nuclear powered submarines after states.

Well...I’ve got to admit that you’re right about that. But since I live in the past, I will stick to my original position. Only battleships should be named after states.
I’d like to say more, but it’s almost time for Jack Benny on the radio. So I’ve got to sign off FR for now.
