Why are American submarines named after animals deep in the ocean? The answer is revealed.

Today, we talk about how submarines and amphibious ships of the US Navy are named.

First of all, talk about submarines. The naming method of U.S. Navy submarines is different from other ships. Because submarines spend most of their time in the depths of the ocean, U.S. Navy submarines are generally named after fish or marine life in various oceans. For example, there are "stone fish" and "tuna" named after fish in the ocean. There are "dolphins" and "waves" named after animals in the ocean.

Although the U.S. Navy's submarines are named after creatures deep in the ocean, the names of submarine frigates are quite different. They are usually named after airborne birds that often move at sea, such as "pigeons" and "seagulls".

Let's talk about American amphibious ships first. There are two main ways to name American amphibious ships: one is amphibious command ship, which is generally named after some famous mountains or mountains. The command ship is responsible for the command, communication and coordination of the whole fleet in naval operations. The implication of naming these famous mountains by the US military is mainly to make these command ships shoulder the heavy responsibility of the whole fleet like those mountains such as "Blue Ridge" and "Mount Whitney".

The second is amphibious assault ship. The name of this type of ship is mainly to show off the brilliant achievements of the US Navy in previous battles, so amphibious assault ship is named after these famous battles, such as "Okinawa Island" and "Guadalcanal Island". Hope to adopt
