I hope they name it the Jimmy Carter. It will piss him off every time he hears that the Jimmy Carter is going off to war. It would also be the first time since 1976 that Jimmy Carter has done anything in his nation's interest.
Jimmy muttering darkly to himself, "I don't believe they named a machine of destruction after me. And what if one of its planes bombs a terrorist headquarters? How could I live with myself?"
I believe Carter has a nuke sub named after him.
They named a submarine after him rather than a carrier, something about him being on Rickover’s staff, and as he never tired of reminding people, “ahma nukular engineeah”. I further understand that the sailors that serve aboard it call it by it’s numerical designation, rather than its nickname, unlike every other submarine in the fleet.
