The Commonwealth of Kentucky is a southern state of the United States of America and was the 15th state admitted to the Union.
Kentucky and its residents are probably most well known for thoroughbred horses and racing, local whiskey distilleries, and unbridled fanaticism for basketball. The two principal rivals in the state are the University of Kentucky (blue, Wildcats) and the University of Louisville (red, Cardinals).
Several US Navy ships have been named USS Kentucky in honor of the state. The USS Paducah also served as a naval vessel.
