    the reason the Washington is crossed out is this ship was originally the Washington. On 9 November 1916, Washington was renamed Seattle (retaining her classification as Armored Cruiser No. 11). She was simultaneously taken out of reserve and recommissioned for duty as flagship of the Destroyer Force. She was probably renamed as the was a Battleship planned named Washingtn which was later scrapped under the 1922 Naval treaty. her long story is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Washington_(ACR-11)
