Navy to Commission Attack Submarine Jimmy Carter
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy will commission its newest
nuclear-powered attack submarine Jimmy Carter Feb. 19, during an 11
a.m. EST ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, Conn.
The attack submarine Jimmy Carter honors the 39th president of the United States.
President Carter is the only U.S. president to have qualified in
submarines. He has distinguished himself by a lifetime of public
service, and has long ties to the Navy and the submarine force. Carter
graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946, served as a
commissioned officer aboard submarines, and served as
commander-in-chief from 1977 to 1981. Carter's statesmanship,
philanthropy and sense of humanity earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in
2002.
