USS Alaska

Written by:
The name Alaska has appeared on some pretty impressive ships in the history of the United States Navy. From an early steam-powered warship, to one of the largest cruisers ever built, to a nuclear-powered submarine carrying enough firepower to alter the course of history, the USS Alaska name has evolved right alongside the state itself. So join us this week as we’re tracing the history of the vessels that have carried Alaska’s name...where they served, what made each one unique, and how the Last Frontier ended up represented on some very different generations of American warships.
How many ships have carried the name USS Alaska? Why was one of them so unusual that the Navy struggled to even classify it? And what does today’s USS Alaska have lurking beneath the waves? It’s the episode that if you're not careful, will blow you away!
