Zitat:US Navy christens latest Virginia-class submarine, the future USS Idahohttps://www.naval-technology.com/news/us...uss-idaho/
The Virginia class is the mainstay of the US Navy’s subsurface attack fleet, although the latest Presidential Budget Request for FY2025 only called for a single submarine to be funded. [...] According to a US Department of Defense (DoD) release on 15 March, the submarine, which began construction in 2017, will be the 26th Virginia-class fast attack submarine and the fifth USN ship to be christened with the name Idaho, which ironically is a land-locked US state.
The last USN ship named Idaho was battleship BB 42, commissioned in 1919.
