USS Kearsarge Named for a civil war ship instead 3. Which states do not have battleships named for them? Why don't these States have Battleships named for them? Alaska and Hawaii these did not become states until 1959 after the end of battleship building 4. Name the only United States World War I battleship still afloat. USS Texas The Battleship TEXAS is the last dreadnought in existence in the world, a veteran of Vera Cruz (1914) and both World Wars, and is credited with the introduction and innovation of advances in gunnery, aviation and radar. Having been designed in the first decade of the 20th century, (keel laid in 1911 and completed in 1914), and having seen action in some of the most intense and critical campaigns of WWII, she is an important piece of our naval and maritime history. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

One of the answers to question #3 can be a bit elusive so it's time for a hint. One of the states that didn't have a battleship named after it was a true state, and the reason behind this state never having a battleship named after it was due to somewhat of a technicality. _________________ <table border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 height=50 width=400 align=left><tr><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle>[img] </td><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle> TSgt USAF</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle> Forum Vice Chairman Joint Chiefs[Staff XO] Administrator Company XO M.S.T.

We actually stay away from PMing answers, it leaves no room for anyone to shout favoritism. The answers go in the form of reply. It does make it hard, I know what you're saying. Usually I copy the questions to a new Word document, close the Forum, then do my research and type my answers on that document. When all finished I copy and paste the Word document as my reply. That's just my way of keeping myself in check. Thanks for being honest, but please do try to answer some next time. _________________ <table border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1 height=50 width=400 align=left><tr><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle>[img] </td><td colspan=1 align=center valign=middle> TSgt USAF</td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle></td></tr><tr><td colspan=2 align=center valign=middle> Forum Vice Chairman Joint Chiefs[Staff XO] Administrator Company XO M.S.T.

ROFLMAO thats too funny Walts. I used to be the same way but since I've started doing these I've gained a certain love for trivia. I learn so much from doing them even though I almost threw my computer out the window over afsp's first challenge a couple of weeks ago  go ahead and give one or two a shot if you take a notion to do so. They are set up so that you can't loose as long as you participate. Couple of days left to try this one if you'd like [nudge,nudge] Oh and yes Laura answers that are Pm'd are void and usually ignored, all guesses must be posted in the thread in order to be counted so that we stay away from accusations of foul play [as if ] I thank you for your honesty as well. _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.
