American Premium Ships:

USS Texas: Famous for being the only floating museum Dreadnought left in the world.

 

USS Arizona: Famous for having a magazine detonation in the Pearl Harbour attack. Over 50% of casualties were from the Arizona. Note that, they could have gone for her sister ship, USS Pennsylvania, who is famous for shooting the most tonnage of shells in the entire war.

 

USS Indianapolis: Famous for being the source of the US Navy's biggest shame. Indianapolis was on a secret mission to deliver Uranium to Tinian for the first Atomic Bomb. Afterwards, she was ordered to report to the Philippines and meet up with a Battleship task force to prepare for an invasion of mainland Japan. On the way there, she was torpedoed by a Japanese Submarine, and sunk in 12 minutes. Indianapolis was hit by two torpedoes, the first split the ship down to the keel, knocking out all electrical power. Indianapolis was reported to have sent a distress signal just before the first torpedo attack. It was intercepted by 3 US Navy stations, but no action was taken due to circumstances that is outright embarrassing on the operation of navy stations. The operator of the first station was drunk. The operator of the second was asleep. The operator of the third believed it to be a Japanese trap, despite having broken Japanese naval code since 1942. Due to the way the US Navy tracked it's ships, Indianapolis was reported to have arrived safely at the Philippines. CINCPAC had no idea that they'd lost a Heavy Cruiser and that over 900 sailors needed rescuing. When a routine recon plane on anti-submarine patrol spotted the survivors, the US Navy was finally alerted that the Indianapolis had gone down. When they did so, many of the sailors had died due to starvation, salt water poisoning, exposure or, more grimly, shark attacks. Indianapolis is famous for being both the most lives lost in a US Navy sinking, and the most lives lost in shark attacks. The embarrassment doesn't end there, someone was going to have to take the blame, and the navy, realising the war was pretty much over one way or another, decided to court martial the captain of the Indianapolis, Captain McVey. He was charged with refusing to zig-zag in good visibility, which the numerous survivors would attest to otherwise, and even the captain of the Japanese Submarine that sunk the Indianapolis would claim the visibility was not "good". He was also charged with refusing to send out a distress signal. After the first torpedo hit, all electrical, and thus radio communication, was impossible. 

 

 Indianapolis was also sent out without a destroyer escort, due to the navy losing a destroyer escort earlier that day. McVey was supposedly warned of Japanese Submarine activity, but little could be done. McVey committed suicide several years later, and was found holding a figure of a toy sailor, something his father had given him.

 

USS Marblehead: Basically just a different version of the Omaha-Class Cruisers.
