Submarines have traditionally been named for fish or other vessels using a particular name. Over the last 30 years, U.S. Submarines (except for the Seawolf class) have been named for States or Cities, or important Navy or political leaders (almost always those who have been generous to the Navy or military in general). State and City identification is an old Navy tradition.
Other countries typically use either fish or names from previous vessels, important historical events (Russia, e.g.), leaders, and also Cities or States / Regions in their own country.
