There were several others among earlier classes of Polaris-boat SSBN's such as the Lafayette and Ethan Allen, and the first class-leader, the George Washington iirc. There was also a Simon Bolivar, named for the South American libertador, and another named for foreign royalty, King Hamehameha of Hawaii.
