How are U.S. Navy ships numbered?
U.S. Navy ship numbers are actually the assigned hull numbers from their shipyard construction program; one thing that isn't widely known publicly is that the numbers are actually painted inside the weld marks on the hull itself that spell the number (there are other weld marks around a hull besides on the bow). By doing this, if a ship is ever sunk and her numbers weren't visible, she could be identified by the number weld marks on the hull. The Navy program office in charge of the building project will assign the numbers, typically based on historical class, or if a new class, a new series will be adopted. In cases where numbers have become high due to so many hulls over time, the Navy will opt to start at the beginning again. A good example is the Seawolf and Virginia-class SSN's, which started its hull series in the 20's rather than continue in the 700 series of the Los Angeles class boats. Up until a ship is actually commissioned, it's referred to by its hull number; only after commissioning is it referred to by its name and hull number.
