The APNS Worker's Pride (BB-47) (formerly USS Washington) was the third Colorado-class battleship of the American People's Navy. It was also among one of the first major capital ships to defect to the Communists during the Second American Civil War where its first action was taking part in the Battle of Cape Hatteras firing on the retreating USN Atlantic Squadron including the battleship Arizona.[1]
After World War II, the Worker's Pride would be turned into a museum docked in Washington City.
