Throughout US history, all of our battleships have been named after states, except for one: USS Kearsarge. The original ship of this name during the Civil War hunted down and sank the confederate raider Alabama and since that time the US Navy has ensured that one commissioned ship always has that name, I guess as a giant lasting "fuck you" to the confederacy. The battleship Kearsarge was commissioned in 1900, ruining an otherwise-perfect ship naming convention.

For this reason I support making Puerto Rico into a state - as long as they change their name to Kearsarge first.
