	USS Franklin: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Five United States Navy ships have been named USS Franklin, the first four after Benjamin Franklin, and the fifth, the aircraft carrier CV-13, perpetuating the name of the previous ships (it was not the usual practice at the time to name carriers after individuals).
		The first Franklin was a 6-gun schooner, taken under the command of Commodore John Manly[?] in 1775, participating in the capture of many British vessels and returned to the owner in 1776.
		The fifth Franklin (CV-13)[?] was an aircraft carrier commissioned in 1944 and crippled by a kamikaze in March 1945, but later repaired and in use until decommissioning in 1964.
