I guess the SECNAV doesnt care about the “Cold War Naming Convention” for Subs.... SSBN’s for States and SSN’s for cities.

I agree, it doesn’t jive with the naming system that’s been in use for over a century.

Right. Then instead of “California” they could have named in the “Berkeley”.
Not that the city deserves to have a great ship named after it but there would be two good things about it. First, a lot of our nuclear technology owes its genesis to Etchevery Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. Second, the reds who run the place would totally freak.

That was late Cold War, and it was only for two sub classes - the Ohio class for the SSBNs and the Los Angeles class for SSNs.
