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.

With saddness I report the departure on Eternal Patrol of EMP2(SS) Ed Leach - A Sterlet SS392 crew member i944 during its last
patrols - an Icon of the Subvets of New Jersey Chapters of the USSVI - and just a loved shipmate. We will miss you and to your
family and friends we offer our Comfort and Strength. Another of our great heroes leaves us to be sure we remember all that
you have done for the Submarine Family. God Speed Ed and "Sailor Rest Your Oars" = Attention on Deck Ed Leach has assumed the watch.
