States names are also used for boomer subs also like the Ohio, etc.

Bump. Anyone have any news on the commissioning of the New York?

Hah, the first thing I thought of when I read "amphibious assault ship" was some sort of super powerful submersible destroyer.

I think they should've used the steel from the WTC to make ammunition for the rail guns on the DD(X) class, now that's retribution.
