Best Answer

Ship / Submarine commissioning sponsors are typically chosen from the ranks of political or military dignitaries; in many cases, if a ship is named for a person, the spouse or a close relative is chosen (always a woman in modern times). If named for a City or State, a Senator's wife from the State may be chosen, or if the Senator is female, the Senator herself.

In the past 60 years it's been politically motivated as well; submarines and ships are typically named for those who have been politically generous to the Navy and military in general. For example, the USS Nautilus was sponsored by Mamie Eisenhower, President Eisenhower's wife, and the USS Jimmy Carter was sponsored by Carter's wife Rosalynn.
