Standardization and uniformity:
When adding 1 plus 10 it is easier to add (on paper) 01 plus 10.
Examples:
1. DE=Destroyer Escort
2. DD=Destroyer, the second D is for standardization
3. CA=Cruiser Armored
4. BB=Battleship, the second B is for standardization

Why does BB stand for battleship and not just B?
Prior to 1920, US battleships WERE designated with just the letter "B." However, after WW1 (1918), newer naval ships began to enter the USN inventory, different types of vessels...submarine tenders, Lighter than air support ships (for the Blimps, aka Air Ships), etc. These types of vessels couldn't be designated with just one letter, they required two, sometimes three letters. Consequently, in 1920, the USN designated the B (Battleships) and D (Destroyers) with two letters for uniformity sake; BB & DD. When performing paper work, it cut down on errors, and was easier to read, type, and organize.
