Before the Los Angeles Class they were named for fish, with that class SSNs were named for cities. When the Virginia's came out they picked up the state names. As for SSBNs, they were named for people and then picked up states with the Ohios.

His use of cuss words sounds more like an enlisted man and I would never trust him as the OOD that's for sure.
So I'm gonna take it you never served on a submarine? Some Captains are indeed *******s. We made it a point on my boat to break the Mormon officer we got. He started drinking and swearing like the rest of us and was a fine officer regardless of his vocabulary. I really don't care if an officer swears, or anyone for that matter. All I care about is can I depend on him when the **** hits the fan.
