The names of commissioned ships of the United States Navy all start with USS, for United States Ship. Non-commissioned, primarily civilian-crewed vessels of the U.S. Navy under the Military Sealift Command have names that begin with USNS, standing for United States Naval Ship. A letter-based hull classification symbol is used to designate a vessel's type. The names of ships are selected by the Secretary of the Navy. The names are those of states, cities, towns, important persons, important locations, famous battles, fish, and ideals. Usually, different types of ships have names originated from different types of sources.
USS San Francisco (SSN-810) will be a nuclear-powered Virginia-class submarine for the United States Navy, the ninth of the Block V attack submarines and 37th overall of the class. She will be the fourth US Naval vessel named for San Francisco, California, part of the San Jose–San Francisco–Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area, and one of the most densely populated cities in the US, second only to New York City. The first San Francisco (C-5) was a nineteenth-century cruiser, converted to a mine-layer, that saw action during the Spanish-American War and World War I, while the second (CA-38) was a heavy cruiser and one of the most decorated ships of World War II. The third, (SSN-711), also an attack submarine, is a Los Angeles-class boat that after decommissioning, became a moored training ship for the Nuclear Power School in South Carolina.
