At random: Traditionally, United States submarines have been named after fish and other marine creatures. One exception was the Navy's first submarine HOLLAND which was named after its inventor, John Philip Holland. Today, ballistic missile submarines are named for famous American patriots, with the newest class, the OHIO class, named after states. The LOS ANGELES class of attack submarines are named for United States cities. The nations news class of submarine, the Virginia class, is also named for US States, making them the capital ships of the navy.

Shipmate Charles Taulbee and I both received our Holland Club packets today. Guess that officially makes us "Old Pharts", huh?

Thanks to the staff at USSVI for that! You done good.

Welcome to the Holland Club. Yes, it's the "Old Phart" club but proud of it. Hard to realize I was inducted 4 years ago next month.
