# List of United States naval reactors

List of United States Naval reactors is a comprehensive 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
