The Navy’s new planned class of ballistic missile submarines will be named in honor of the District of
Columbia, two Navy officials confirmed to USNI News on Thursday. According to a notification memo to Congress obtained by USNI News, the first ship in the next planned class of Navy nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBN(X))– also known as the Ohio replacement program — will be named USS Columbia.
The current USS Columbia will be decommissioned before the new boat will be commissioned.
