And to straighten things out:
Seawolf (SSN 21 and 22): 353 ft long, 40 ft diameter
Jimmy Carter (SSN 23): 453 ft long, 40 ft diameter
Virginia (SSN 774 and so on): 377 ft long, 34 ft diameter
Los Angeles (SSN 688 and so on): 360 ft long, 33 ft diameter
so, Seawolfs are bigger, and the Jimmy Carter is longer, than the rest. Carter is 100 ft longer because of a multi-mission platform section that allows for advanced equipment testing.
and since someone mentioned the Ohio class:
Ohio (SSGN 762 former SSBN): 560 ft long, 42 ft diameter
