Name?
"to be named for the state of New York." isn't it named after the city of New York? --24.6.127.199 08:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
- Nope; it'd be named "USS New York City" if it were (as previous ships with that name were). See also: USS_New_York_City -- MyrddinEmrys 06:05, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
The history channel documentary about the making of this vessel states that it is named after New York (the city). All the other vessels in the San Antonio Class are also named for cities, with the exception of the USS Somerset (named for the County where United Flight 93 crashed). http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/lpd-17.htm 66.73.165.197 01:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- "Governor George E. Pataki wrote a letter to Secretary England requesting that the Navy revive the name USS New York in honor of September 11's victims and to give it a surface warship involved in the war on terror. In his letter, the Governor said he understood state names presently are reserved for submarines but asked for special consideration so the name could be given to a surface ship. The request was approved August 28, 2002."

- Of course, New York is the name of a city in the state of New York so if the Navy were reserving state names for submarines then special dispensation would have to be given to use a "state name" even if the sole intent was to name the vessel after the city of New York. Sometimes things really do turn out to be both a floor wax and a dessert topping. - Dravecky 05:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
