Submarines

Naming: Submarines were named for fish until the 1970's. Some early submarines carried alphanumeric "names" prior to WWII.

Numbering: Most submarines are numbered in a single series, designated "SS", with variations including SSN, SSBN, AGSS, etc. Some specialized types were numbered in separate SSK (hunter-killer), SST (training), SC (cruiser), SF (fleet) and SM (minelaying) series. Some of these specialist types were later renumbered in the standard SS series.

Note: This series has not been completed. The remaining ships will be added in due time.
