While there, she came under attack by a polar bear, which gnawed on her rudder for a while before disengaging.[1] Connecticut was able to complete her mission and return to base under her own power."

Yes. I would imagine that it's named after the state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut).

Post by: Ford Prefect on November 20, 2009, 04:04:56 am: Well, I don't claim to be a "scientist," but I did take some courses in college, and I'm fairly sure that gravity is a natural phenomenon. Though, it certainly can be difficult to keep up with the research these days.
