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.

By new photo I mean I've never seen it, taken at Canne France in 1951. I've made a copy and reduced it to place here. The full size image can be seen here http://s566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/garykc/?action=view&current=DSCF0962.jpg
