You asked what states have designated a state ship and whether there were other similar types of designation categories.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island all have designated state ships with an official designation that includes the type of ship. Connecticut, Texas and Washington simply have designated state ships. Table 1 shows the states with the official designation, name, and type of vessel.
