The CFS Washington (BBGN-65) is the first of California's newest heavy battleships with the California Class, continuing on where the United States Navy left off with the USS Wisconsin (BB-64) taken from the United States. After making the decision to build a new (heavy) battleship, a construction began and the keel was laid in 2253. With the ship being finished BBGN-70 was commissioned to the Californian Federation Navy as the Utah on March 5, 2256. After sea trials the ship was put into service on August 14, 2256.
Here are the vessels of the California Class Type-1 Designation:
