[Talk-us] Abbreviation expansion - USS to United States Ship?

[Kate Chapman]

I think if we were too look at what is on the sign I bet it is U.S.S.

MLK though often fully spells out the name on the sign.

I would think in these cases it should be what is on the sign. Since
it isn't an abbreviation of the road type, but the actual street name.
