At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

A poem posted on the City of Pittsburgh, Bureau of Police website -

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect,
will be buried with him at his side.

Posted in memory of Officer Eric G. Kelly, Officer Paul J. Sciullo II, and Officer Stephen J. Mayhle, killed in the line of duty on Saturday, April 4, 2009 responding to a domestic disturbance call in the Stanton Heights section of Pittsburgh.
