Reactor designations are: A for Aircraft carrier, C for Cruiser, D for Destroyer and S for Submarine. The last letter indicates the designer institution or lead laboratory: B for Bechtel, C for Combustion Engineering, G for General Electric and W for Westinghouse. General Electric tended to excel in advanced development and Westinghouse in meeting production schedules. The number between the first and last letter refers to the generation number of the core design. | ||||
