The hull designator denotes the hull type, it's purpose, and its propulsion mode. For example SSN stands for "Submersible Ship, Nuclear"; SSBN is Submersible Ship, Ballistic, Nuclear; and SSGN is Submersible Ship, Guided Missile, Nuclear. Any vessel that isn't a variant (rare in today's Navy) has a single designation - BB, DD, etc. Nuclear powered vessels are denoted with an "N" in the designation.

For submarine hull types, there are currently 3 in the U.S. inventory - SSN, SSGN, and SSBN. SSN's are Nuclear Fast-Attack Submarines - Sturgeon, L.A., Seawolf and Virginia Classes. SSBN's are Ballistic Missile Submarines (Ohio class, etc.) SSGN's are converted older SSBN's that have had their Ballistic Missiles removed as part of the Treaty with the former Soviet Union. They were converted to Cruise Missile launch platforms.
