USS Wyoming (BB-32)

USS Wyoming (BB-32), the lead ship of her class of battleship, was the third ship of the United States Navy named Wyoming, although it was only the second named in honor of the 44th state.

Wyoming was part of the battleship squadron attached to the British Grand Fleet during World War I, Battleship Division Nine. In the 1930s, she was converted to a gunnery training ship. During World War II, she trained some 35,000 men on seven different types of guns. She was scrapped in 1947; the role of fleet training ship was passed to Mississippi.
