Old Constitution

[Irenicus]

Could we remove the designation USS from the USS United States. USS was not part of its name, no british ship was named HMS something, it just looks ridicolous seeing a PL or Russian USS United States.

Also, make it President, or Chesapeake.   There is no "England" or "Russia".  Why "United States"?

As I recall the line constructed 6 heavy frigs named: President, United States, Constitution, Congress, Constellation and Chesapeake..

Those were indeed the original six frigates of the US Navy, but they were not built identically.

At least it got a name compared to poor 3rd Rate that I meanwhile call "HMS Nameless"

The devs have added "USS" to the "United States" because it caused confusion. With "USS United States" you can see exactly that it is a ship's name and not a country or a player called United States. This Topic can be closed
