| CGN9 Long Beach | Long Beach was the worlds first nuclear powered surface ship. At the time, guns were considered obsolete, and Long Beach was built without guns, which was later realised to be a mistake and rectified. |
| CGN25 Bainbridge | Based almost entirely on the Leahy class, and mounting the same weapons, the Bainbridge is slower, due to the reduced output of her nuclear plant. |
| CGN35 Truxtun | The Truxtun was originally intended to be the last of the Belknap class, but was converted to nuclear power by order of Congress. |
|
CGN36 California CGN37 South Carolina |
Based on the Bainbridge class, the Californias were originally classed as frigates, but were geared towards anti-aircraft work rather than anti-submarine. |
|
CGN41 Arkansas CGN40 Mississippi CGN39 Texas CGN38 Virginia |
The Virginias were based on the Californias, and bear a close resemblance, as
most of the changes are in propulsion and electronics.
A Modified Virginia class, CGN42-45 was planned for the mid to late 1990s, and was expected to be equipped with AEGIS, but the project was cancelled. |
