USS Saint Petersburg Project objective is to request the Secretary of Navy to name a new ship of the line the USS Saint Petersburg LPD 26. We the citizens of the Great State of Florida are making this requesting to the United States Navy to name a Ship of the line after the City of Saint Petersburg, Florida since no ship in American Naval History has ever been honored with the name, The Saint Petersburg.

Among other responsibilities, my office provides name options to the Secretary of the Navy for ships scheduled. We provide those names based on a "naming convention" approved by the Secretary at the naming of the first ship in a given class, or amended by him at a later date. The name given a ship is chosen solely by the Secretary of the Navy. On that basis I cannot say when, or even if, a specific name will be given to a US Navy ship. Rest assured that your suggestion, Saint Petersburg, along with the hundreds of others we receive each year, will be given due consideration when evaluating names for future ships. Thank you for you interest in Naval History and the future of the Navy. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me. Very Respectfully, CDR Robert "Groundhog" Moss Director of Histories and Archives Naval History and Heritage Command 805 Kidder Breeze Street SE Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374 (202) 433-3940 robert.b.moss@navy.mil
