Show some damn respect.

Do you feel the same way about SSN-23?

Jimmy Carter was a very good submariner hand picked by Rickover to develop the weapons system on the 2nd SSN, the Seawolf.

Carter was ordered to Chalk River to lead a U.S. maintenance crew that joined other American and Canadian service personnel to assist in the shutdown of the reactor.

The painstaking process required each team member to don protective gear and be lowered individually into the reactor for a few minutes at a time, limiting their exposure to radioactivity while they disassembled the crippled reactor.

But his father dropped dead and he returned to Georgia to work the peanut farm, later becoming governor and president.

He almost certainly would have made admiral instead he became a mediocre president.
