We're trying to make the USN sound decent, right now I've seen Michelin travel maps with more military bravado.

Actually it was the tradition of the navy for a long time to name cruiser for cities (with a few noteable exceptions) and battleships for states.

Still sucks as a naming tradition more than a $5 whore with a bag of lemon bon-bons.

Go for decent names, Conqueror, Vengeance, Victory, Victorious, Leviathan, Iron Duke, Invincible, Onyx and my personal favourites: Dreadnaught and Thunderchild.
