Newest nuclear sub named for Carter
The Navy named its newest submarine the USS Jimmy Carter in honor of a former submariner who became the 39th president. Carter said the naming shows the fleet as a tool for peace, while Adm. Johnson hailed the Seawolf class as fast, quiet, and highly armed. The 353‑foot SSN 23 is under construction and slated to join the fleet in 2001.
