USS Ericsson

USS Ericsson

USS "Ericsson" has been the name of three warships in the United States Navy. They are all named for John Ericsson, the inventor of the USS "Monitor" and a torpedo that was cable-powered by an external source. More recently, a support ship in the Military Sealift Command has been designated by his full name.
