The Georgia is an SSGN, but what's an "Annapolis submarine"?

“The Georgia is an SSGN, but what’s an “Annapolis submarine”?”

I believe the writer got it confused with Los Angeles, or 688, class submarines, one of which is the Annapolis (SSN-760). The later submarines in this class, the 688i, have 12 Vertical Launching System (VLS) tubes which can be used for Tomahawk cruise missiles.
