USS Triana

Last updated

Two ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Triana, probably for Rodrigo de Triana, the lookout aboard Pinta, who first sighted land on 12 October 1492 during Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the New World, although no documentary evidence has been found linking either ship to Triana.
