USS Galena

Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Galena. They were named for various communities that, in turn, were named for a native lead sulfide, the chief ore of lead. Cities, towns, and villages with the name exist in Kansas, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, and Alaska.
