List of current United States Navy ships named after US states

The table below shows commissioned US Navy ships named after one of the fifty states of the United States of America. If a state has no in-commission ship named for it, the most recently decommissioned ship is noted.

Twenty-eight in-commission ships are named after US states. Six states (Minnesota, North Dakota, Illinois, Washington, Colorado, Indiana) have ships which are building or under construction (SSN-783, SSN-784, SSN-786, SSN-787, SSN-778, and SSN-779, respectively). The sixteen remaining states lack a named ship.

The building program envisions a class size of thirty ships. Virginia-class submarines are, with one exception (USS John Warner (SSN-785)), named after US states. As of May 2013, only eighteen of the planned class of thirty hulls have been named.
