List of United States Naval reactors
List of United States Naval reactors is a comprehensive annotated 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

gollark: The bees@gl.kst thing is what I was talking about.
gollark: metaname?
gollark: It is kind of irritating that krist doesn't let you have metadata for things sent to a bare address.
gollark: https://git.osmarks.tk/osmarks/potatOS/
gollark: Resolved now, probably.
