- The first Salt Lake City (CA-25) was commissioned in 1929, and saw much action in World War II before being used in atomic bomb tests in 1946. Its commander from 1940-1941 was Ellis M. Zacharias, later narrator of the Cold War docudrama Behind Closed Doors (NBC, 1958–1959).
- The second Salt Lake City (SSN-716) was a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, decommissioned in November 2006 at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
