In the US navy, ships are numbered with a prefix indicating the type of ship. BB=Battleship and CV=Aircraft Carrier. CVN if nuclear-powered. So that's where those letters come from.

blind nuking : nuking enemy units (usually silos) without knowing the exact position
sixpack: a tight cluster of six silos, three in a row
carpet bombing: seanuking a large target area at nearly the same time with numerous nukes
