USS New Hampshire
Three ships of the United States Navy have borne the name
New Hampshire, after the ninth state, as well as another
that was never completed.
- The first New Hampshire was one of
the "nine ships to rate not less than 74 guns each" authorized by Congress on 29
April 1816, but was not launched until 1864,
thereafter serving as a stores and depot ship, and then used for training until an accidental fire in 1921.
A New Hampshire (BB-70) was
authorized in 1940 but cancelled in 1943, before the
keel was even laid.
