This is getting off the main topic, but it's interesting how this changes. Back in the day the BBs were named for states (Arizona, Iowa, etc). Fast forward 40 years, and we named our boomers (SSBNs) after states (Ohio-class). SSNs were named for cities (Los Angeles class). Now we're naming fast attack subs (SSNs) after states (Virginia). The LCS is being named after cities now (e.g. Pierre, Detroit, etc).
The Nimitz-class was a mix. Nimitz was an admiral. But of the same class are ships like the Theodore Roosevelt (POTUS).
Seawolf also was a mix, the few that we ever built. One is named the Jimmy Carter. By all accounts, and awesome boat.
