You would if it where being escourted by the USS Corpus Christi.
Yes, they're two different ships (a Sub and a Ship, if memory serves).
I think, Los Angeles class boats are named "City OF..."
Never Know, the Neptune class might be of a line of ship classes, named for Mythology, instead of planets.

I don't care what the Neptune Class ships are named after... I just think their mission/use has something to that planet.

Uh, no. The LA class subs are not named USS "City of ..." They are just USS Los Angeles and so forth. And no, there is no USS Corpus Christi. The city and the US Navy did not want a warship with such a religious name. That is why it is instead USS City of Corpus Christi. A warship named after the city with the city, or course, named after the religious symbol. It is the only US Naval ship named USS "City of ..."

On a reverse note, it's quite likely that a "Benares" will be launched some day, to be the namesake of the city, but nobody would bear the thought of launching another "City of Benares"...
I'm with the clique that says that the letter designations for classes are "official" or officious Starfleet parlance, whereas each ship class is also known by a "proper" name. Thus, NX class is Enterprise class, too. And I find it highly unlikely that TPTB would ever bother to contradict that particular line of thought.

And thankfully, there's no "USS City of New Orleans" either... (I've heard that song, and it drives me nuts. Even if I do like "Alice's Restaurant"...)

Different times, different customs. They were churning out so many ships during the war, probably no-one had time to get offended by it before it was a done deal. And it only served about 3 years before decommissioning.

Here's a funny coincidence:- I made this way back during the first season of Enterprise when people were speculating about the Class of the Shenandoah. I just found it again while testing out the new Flare upload.
