No US battleships were named after a US Marine.
1. US battleships were named after states, with the only exception being the USS Kearsarge which was named after the Union warship USS Kearsarge of the Civil War, which in turn was named after a location. It took an act of congress to name the US battleship the Kearsarge instead of a state. USS Kearsarge (BB-5), a pre-dreadnaught, was launched in 1898 and scrapped in 1920. Battleships launched from 1906 afterwards were classified as Dreadnaughts (HMS Dreadnaught was launched in 1906).
During WWII ONLY (after WWII, the USN started whole new categories for their warships, subs, etc.).
2. US Cruisers were named after US cities.
3. US Subs were named after fish.
4. Fleet carriers/Light carriers were named after Revolutionary War ships & battles.
5. Escort Carriers (aka Jeep carriers) were named after bays.
6. Destroyers were named after US sailors and US marines.
