USS San Juan

Three ships of the United States Navy have been named USS "San Juan". The first retained her mercantile name when acquired by the Navy; the latter two were named for the capital of Puerto Rico.

*The first "San Juan" (SP-1352) was acquired by the Navy from the San Juan Packing Company of Seattle and used as a minesweeper and patrol boat during World War I.

*The second "San Juan" (CL-54) was an "Atlanta"-class anti-aircraft cruiser that served during World War II.

*The third "San Juan" (SSN-751) was the first of the "improved" "Los Angeles"-class submarines, capable of under-ice operations.
