USS Woodrow Wilson (SSBN-624), a Lafayette class ballistic missile submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924), the 28th President of the United States (1913–1921). She later was converted into an attack submarine and redesignated SSN-624.

I thought a ballistic missile sub was an attack sub, wonder what the difference is?
edit: Wiki say an attack sub is a hunter-killer of ships and subs, rather than countries.
