The USS Sweet Potato (SSN-780)?

The USS Idaho (BB-24), a Mississippi-class battleship, missed sailing with the Great White Fleet, saw little action during World War I, was sold to Greece and sunk by German aircraft early in World War II. The USS Idaho (BB-42), a New Mexico-class battleship, saw major action in many Pacific bombardments during World War II.

Our friend Bubblehead is rooting for a submarine to be named Idaho (SSN-780).

Bubblehead has made it fairly well-known that he would not be adverse to females assigned to submarine duty. If his wishes come true together, the USS Idaho would be the first all-female submarine. In that case, she may be known fleetwide as the Sweet Potato.

Still, like her WWII namesake, the sub Idaho might be a thoroughly formidable vessel of firepower. Then, she might be called the Hot Potato.

If females are not assigned to the sub Idaho, however, she may just be referred to as the Spud. And, as a wag has commented previously to Bubblehead, her CO would likely be called Mr. Potatohead.

Rumor has it that the submarine Idaho will not be Virginia class at all (see photo). Her armament will include the new Nematode Torpedo. Additionally, the Idaho would have no photonic masts, but will sprout various eyes, as needed.
