USS Vermont
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Two ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Vermont in honor of the 14th state.

• The first Vermont was one of nine ships of the line authorized by Congress in 1816, but it was not launched until 1848, and only ever saw service as a receiving ship, from 1862 to 1901.

• The second Vermont (BB-20) was a Connecticut-class battleship.
