The 20th century battleship Tennessee (BB43) was the sixth, largest, and most famous surface combatant to carry that name into the annals of American naval history. Christened in honor of the state of Tennessee whose star (the sixteenth) came into the Union on June 1,1796, the great ship, like its state, owed its name to the Cherokee Indian word Tanasie, which originally referred to several indigenous Cherokee settlements in the territory now nicknamed the Volunteer State.
Affectionately dubbed the "Big T," "Tenny," 'Tenny Maru," and 'The Rebel" or 'The Rebel Ship," she may also have been called the "Volunteer Battlewagon" in tribute to her name state's military traditions and such martial luminaries as John Savier, Andrew Jackson, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, David G. Farragut, and Alvin C. York. She was the pride of America when commissioned in 1920, and originally and uniquely manned largely by home-state boys, a visible reminder of U.S. power in the interwar years. Slightly hurt at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, she was quickly into the Pacific war. From beginning to end the vessel remained a worthy symbol of the people whose spirit is reassuringly captured in a quote from Andrew Jackson: 'You are uneasy? You never sailed with me before, I see!"
