I believe that the “N” at the end of the vessel designation refers to the propulsion unit.

All of our subs are nuclear powered.

The last I heard the US Navy specifically does not comment on any armaments that may be nuclear. Even our aircraft carriers do not admit to having these weapons on board.

To admit it would cause political difficulties for many world governments, such as Korea and Japan.

Because we would never allow a ship with nuclear weapons to port in these countries.

Yes, the 'N' means nuclear powered, I was more displaying the 'B' and 'G'. And yes, all US subs are nuke plants.

It's not whether they have nukes or not, designation goes by the capability of carrying our current nuclear arms.
