This list of United States Naval reactors is a comprehensive list of all naval reactors designed, built, or used by the United States Navy.
Reactor designations Each nuclear reactor design is given a three-character designation consisting of a letter representing the type of ship the reactor is intended for, a consecutive generation number, and a letter indicating the reactor's designer. Ship types:
"A" – aircraft carrier "C" – cruiser "D" – destroyer "S" – submarine Contracted designers:
"B" – Bechtel "C" – Combustion Engineering "G" – General Electric "W" – Westinghouse
