List of United States Naval reactors

List of United States Naval reactors is a comprehensive annotated list of all naval reactors designed, built, or used by the United States Navy.

Reactor designations

Each nuclear reactor design is given a three-character designation consisting of a letter representing the type of ship the reactor is intended for, a consecutive generation number, and a letter indicating the reactor's designer.

Ship types:
* "A" - aircraft carrier
* "C" - cruiser
* "D" - destroyer
* "S" - submarine

Contracted designers:
* "B" - Bechtel
* "C" - Combustion Engineering
* "G" - General Electric
* "W" - Westinghouse
