Utah (SSN-801), a Template:Sclass-, will be the second U.S. Navy ship named for the state of Utah. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced the name on September 28, 2015, at a ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah.[2]
The Navy specifically selected boat number "801" to be named the Utah, even jumping over some other as-yet-unnamed boats, as 801 is the telephone area code for Utah's capital, Salt Lake City.[3]
