Numbering: Most submarines are numbered in a single series, designated "SS", with variations including SSN, SSBN, AGSS, etc. Some specialized types were numbered in separate SSK (hunter-killer), SST (training), SC (cruiser), SF (fleet) and SM (minelaying) series.
Some of these specialist types were later renumbered in the standard SS series.
