USS Louisiana (BB-71)
Building of a Montana-class battleship to
be named USS Louisiana (BB-71) in honor of the 18th state
was authorized July 19, 1940, and assigned to the
Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia; but, before her keel was
laid, construction was canceled July 21, 1943. Louisiana
would have been the fourth ship to bear that name had she been
commissioned; she was the last American battleship authorized.
Other ships of the United States Navy have borne the name
Louisiana; see that index page.
