About submarine names

Submarine names follow strict national traditions, which is exactly why they sound so authentic. The US Navy named its WWII fleet boats after fish and sea creatures: Wahoo, Barb, Tang, Sculpin, Archerfish. When nuclear boats arrived, attack submarines took city names (Los Angeles, Dallas, Key West) and later state names (Virginia, Texas), while ballistic missile boats were named for states and, in the Cold War 41 for Freedom fleet, for famous Americans (George Washington, Patrick Henry, Kamehameha). Museum boats like USS Cod and USS Bowfin keep the fish tradition alive.

The Royal Navy alliterates by class: the Trafalgar class (Turbulent, Tireless, Torbay), the Swiftsure class (Sovereign, Superb, Sceptre), the Vanguard class (Victorious, Vigilant, Vengeance), and the current Astute class (Ambush, Artful, Audacious). German U-boats were simply numbered (U-47, U-96, U-505). Soviet boats carried K-numbers with NATO reporting names like Akula and Typhoon, and modern Russian boats are named for cities and medieval princes. Japan's Sōryū class all end in -ryū, meaning dragon; France names hers for jewels and admirals. Also here: Japanese I-boats, Italian boats, early pioneers, and midget submarines.

Research submersibles have their own idiom: Alvin, Trieste, Deepsea Challenger, Limiting Factor. For fiction, either follow one of these national schemes precisely, or use the moody single-word register of thrillers and games: Undertow, Crush Depth, Grey Ghost, Silent Service.

How to choose submarine names

  • Pick a national convention and stay in it: US boats use fish, cities, or states; British boats alliterate within a class; German U-boats are numbered.
  • For a fictional US attack sub, a fish name (Sculpin, Moray, Lamprey) reads as WWII or Cold War era, while a state name reads as modern.
  • Numbers are authentic for German, Soviet, and Chinese boats: U-1206 or K-329 sounds real without any word at all.
  • Give a research or civilian submersible a hopeful or personal name (Alvin, Limiting Factor), never a warlike one.
  • For a menacing fictional boat, single words tied to the deep (Undertow, Hadal, Fathom, Crush Depth) outperform generic 'Shadow' or 'Storm' names.

Frequently asked questions

Why were US submarines named after fish?

The Navy adopted fish and marine-creature names for submarines in the 1930s and used them for the entire WWII fleet, from Gato to Tang. Admiral Rickover famously said fish don't vote when he pushed for city and state names on nuclear boats to win congressional support.

Why do British submarines in the same class start with the same letter?

The Royal Navy traditionally alliterates within a submarine class: Trafalgar-class boats all begin with T, Swiftsure-class with S, Astute-class with A. It is a holdover from the lettered classes (T-class, S-class, U-class) of WWII.

Are these real submarines?

Most are real, from active boats like USS Virginia and HMS Astute to famous WWII boats and museum ships like U-505 and USS Cod. The list also includes iconic fictional subs (Red October, Seaview) and original names in the naval-thriller style.

Can I use these names in a game or novel?

Yes. Real submarine names, hull numbers, and NATO reporting names are public information and are used constantly in fiction. Avoid lifting named fictional boats from other franchises into commercial products, and search any original name yourself before you publish under it.
