'''USS ''San Francisco'' (SSN-810)''' will be a [[Virginia-class submarine|''Virginia''-class]] [[Nuclear propulsion|nuclear-powered]] attack submarine of the [[United States Navy]], the ninth of the Block V boats and the 37th overall of her class. She will be the fourth US naval vessel named for [[San Francisco, California]], one of the [[List of United States cities by population density#Metropolitan areas|most densely populated cities]] in the U.S. The first ''San Francisco'' ({{USS|San Francisco|C-5|1}}) was a nineteenth-century [[cruiser]], later converted to a [[mine-layer]], that saw action during the [[Spanish-American War]] and [[World War I]], while the second ({{USS|San Francisco|CA-38|1}}) was a [[heavy cruiser]] and one of the most decorated ships of [[World War II]]. The third, ([[SSN-711]]), also an attack submarine, is a {{sclass|Los Angeles|submarine|0}} boat that after [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioning]], became a [[moored training ship]] for the [[Nuclear Power School]] in South Carolina.

The submarine's name was announced on 3 October 2023 by Navy Secretary [[Carlos Del Toro]] while attending [[Fleet Week]] in San Francisco.<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.navy.mil/Press-Office/Press-Releases/display-pressreleases/Article/3547101/secnav-del-toro-names-future-nuclear-powered-attack-submarine-uss-san-francisco/|title=SECNAV Del Toro Names Future Nuclear-Powered Attack Submarine USS San Francisco (SSN 810)|publisher=United States Navy|date=3 October 2023|access-date=4 October 2023}}</ref>

== Design ==
Compared to Blocks I-IV of ''Virginia''-class submarines, Block V vessels will incorporate previously introduced modifications to the base design in addition to a Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The VPM inserts a segment into the boat's hull which adds four [[Vertical launching system|vertical launch tubes]]. Each tube allows for the carrying of seven [[Tomahawk (missile family)|Tomahawk strike missiles]], increasing her armament to a total of 40 missiles.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Attack Submarines - SSN |url=https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/Article/2169558/attack-submarines-ssn/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.navy.mil%2FResources%2FFact-Files%2FDisplay-FactFiles%2FArticle%2F2169558%2Fattack-submarines-ssn%2F |access-date=2024-05-09 |website=United States Navy |language=en-US}}</ref>
