Did you know that the state of Washington has at least 40 ships named after the state, its cities, places and people?  Take a look at the current issue of The Sextant which features an article on the “Naval History of Washington State.”  You can access the article published by The Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) here.  The command is located at the Washington Navy Yard, D.C. and is headed by the Director of Naval History, Rear Adm. Samuel J. Cox, U.S. Navy (Retired).
