USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795), will be a Virginia-class submarine, the second submarine of the United States Navy commemorating Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, pioneer of the nuclear Navy.[4] The boat's sponsor is Darleen Greenert, wife of then Chief of Naval Operations, ADM Jonathan Greenert. Both the boat's name and her sponsor were announced by the Secretary of the Navy at a ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard on 9 January 2015.

The first USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-709) was a Los Angeles-class submarine, and the only submarine of its class not to be named after a United States city or town. This submarine will be the second of its class not to be named after a U.S. state; the first was the USS John Warner (SSN-785).

The USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795) will be commissioned in late 2021 or early 2022 as part of a week-long celebration. The USS Hyman G. Rickover Commissioning Committee was established by the Union League Club of Chicago.
