I walked (OK, ducked and half-crawled) through the Jimmy Carter at Electric Boat a little over a year ago. She may have an ignominious name, but that's going to be one heck of a submarine.

I was on a new construction in Newport News (USS Greeneville), and having seen the boats out of 'Rotten Groton.' You can have them. It was like night and day in the quality department. I don't think Electric Boat has put out a decent warship in thirty years. Sub Captain Ted has done a good job keeping them in business along with the rest of the Mass Mafia.
The USS San Juan (christened by Hitlery, speaking of curses) is such a piece of junk they basically use it exclusively for giving tours.
The USS Greeneville was christened by Miss PMRC (Tipper) herself and has since sunk a fishing boat full of teenagers and run aground at least once.
The moral of the story is clear: keep lefties away from the military. Their very presence is a curse and endangers lives. God keep the poor men who have to smile and shake the hands of Americas biggest loser at the commissioning.
