What names could follow the US battleship state names?

State capitals offer another naming category in a hypothetical fleet that has used every state name.

Question

What could the United States call further battleships after using all fifty state names?

Short answer

State-capital names are suggested as a possible next category.

Notes

State capitals are suggested if a hypothetical US battleship fleet exhausted all the state names. The exchange offers a possible next category of names without establishing that it was an adopted historical plan.
