I am surprised that the USN never gave the name Concord to anything larger than a cruiser.

Concord was one of the first battles of the Revolution.

Cruisers were named for state capitals . . . Concord, New Hampshire.

This is true, however, the Battle of Concord was immediately following the Battle of Lexington.
