USS Bunker Hill
Two ships of the United States Navy have been named Bunker Hill, in remembrance of the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War:
- USS Bunker Hill (CV-17), was an Essex-class aircraft carrier that fought heavily in the Pacific during World War II[1]
- USS Bunker Hill (CG-52), is a guided missile cruiser commissioned in 1986[2]
One civilian steamer, SS Bunker Hill, was acquired by the Navy in 1917 and commissioned as USS Aroostook (CM-3).
