[edit] Names

None of the five listed ships are named after American Revolutionary War battles. Were any of the other unbuilt ships planned to be named as such? --Kevin W. 04:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Nassau?

[edit] Aircraft carriers

Can the class be considered technically "aircraft carriers"? The former Soviet Kiev class carried VSTOL sircraft and helicopters and were considered aircraft carriers. best 194.80.106.135 (talk) 10:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
