What does The US Navy name its submarines?
It depends on the type of submarine. Fast-Attack submarines are normally named after fish or previous submarines; Ballistic Missile submarines were originally named for famous Americans in history, though today they are named for States of the Union. This is done in no small part to foster good will and political support. Some attack submarines are also named for famous politicians who have been more than kind to the Navy over their years of service in Congress or the White House, and the USS Hyman G. Rickover is named for Admiral Rickover, "Father of the Nuclear Navy".
