*The first possibility is that this vessel is named after the [[wikipedia:Battle of Bunker Hill|Battle of Bunker Hill]] early in the American Revolutionary war in 1775.
The ''UNSC Bunker Hill'' is most likely named after the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bunker_Hill Battle of Bunker Hill] from the American Revolution.
 
*Another likelihood is it was christened the Bunker Hill to pay homage to its naval predecessors bearing the same name: the [[wikipedia:USS Bunker Hill (1917)|USS Bunker Hill (1917)]] originally a coastal steamer passenger ship, later acquired by the U.S. Navy and renamed the "Aroostook" (CM-3); or the World War II-era aircraft carrier [[wikipedia:USS Bunker Hill (CV-17)|USS Bunker Hill (CV-17)]]—perhaps the most well known of the ships bearing the Bunker Hill name, CV-17 partook in multiple battles in the Pacific campaign waged during the latter years of WWII including the battles of [[wikipedia:Battle of Iwo Jima|Iwo Jima]] and [[wikipedia:Battle of Okinawa|Okinawa]] the ship was eventually struck by two Japanese kamikazee pilots within 30 seconds of eachother crippling the ship; third to bear the Bunker Hill name is [[wikipedia:USS Bunker Hill (CG-52)|USS Bunker Hill (CG-52)]] a missile cruiser in the U.S. Navy that was commissioned in the late 1980s and served through the early part of the 21st century.
