The Admiral in charge of the group that designs nuclear submarine propulsion plants had a famous quote about switching the naming of American submarines away from fish to things like U.S. cities, states, etc. as being because "fish don't vote on our budget".
Religious objections were raised when they got around to naming a nuclear fast attack submarine after Corpus Christi. That's why SSN-705 was christened† the City of Corpus Christi, rather than just the Corpus Christi.
