El USS Connecticut (BB-18), fue un acorazado de la Cuarta flota de la Armada de los Estados Unidos, que recibía su nombre en honor al estado de Connecticut, fue el primero de los seis de su clase. Su casco fue botado el 10 de marzo de 1903 y se terminó su construcción el 29 de septiembre de 1904. Recibió recibió sus primeras órdenes el 29 de septiembre de 1906, siendo el buque de guerra más avanzado en ese momento hasta la entrada en servicio dos meses después del HMS Dreadnought (1906).
El Connecticut sirvió como buque insignia en la Exposición de Jamestown a mediados de 1907, la cual conmemoraba el 300.º aniversario de la fundación de la colonia de Jamestown. Posteriormente navegó con la Gran Flota Blanca en un viaje de circunavegación para mostrar la vocación de la Armada de los Estados Unidos de convertirse en una «armada de aguas azules». Tras completar su servicio en la gran flota blanca, el Connecticut participó en varias operaciones navales para mostrar pabellón, incluida la protección de intereses de ciudadanos estadounidenses en el extranjero. También participó en el transporte de las tropas estadounidenses en su retorno a los Estados Unidos tras la finalización de la Primera Guerra Mundial.
Durante el resto de su existencia, el Connecticut navegó prestando diferentes servicios, tanto en el Atlántico como en el Pacífico, y sirvió como buque escuela a los nuevos reclutas de la U.S. Navy. Sin embargo, entre las disposiciones del Tratado naval de Washington de 1922 se establecía la desaparición de un número importante de buques capitales, y su obsolescencia, el Connecticut fue uno de ellos, por lo que fue dado de baja el 1 de marzo de 1922 y se vendió como chatarra el 1 de noviembre de 1923.
