USS Kamehameha (SSBN-642)
USS ''Kamehameha'' (SSBN-642) (called ''Kamfish'' by her crew), a ballistic missile submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Kamehameha I, the first King of Hawaii (c. 1758-1819). She is one of only two ships of the United States to be named after a monarch. She was later reclassified as an attack submarine and redesignated SSN-642.
The ship's motto was ''Imua'', which roughly translates (from the Hawaiian) as "go forth and conquer." Another motto used by her crew was ''Kam do.''
