Not that I've ever heard of. Besides submarines have been taking state names for 30 years now. There have been a few renames of the ships at battleship row. Pennsylvania, Nevada, Maryland, Tennessee, and West Virginia are Ohio class boats. California was just laid down last month as a Virginia class boat.

If I remember right Greenpeace tried to get on that like stink on sh!t. Uncle Sam sent them packing saying it was a war grave and a national landmark and to have some *******ing respect.
On the note of the original topic. Nice pics! I used to visit the Arizona every time we pulled into PH. My pics from port calls there are around somewhere.
