The third and final Seawolf-class submarine, the USS Jimmy Carter, will be christened June 5.

...the USS Jimmy Carter, will be christened June 5.

Another ceremony to sink his teeth into. I can't wait...

[shagbark]

Oh great! This sniping, monday morning quarterbacking, Iranian Shah backstabbing, North Korea nuclear-arming, european-ass kissing, draft-dodger pardoning, habitat-for-humanity carpenter-posing, piece of dog squeeze gets a sub named after him. If I wasn't a gentleman, i'd tell you what I really think of him.

[Richard Axtell]

I feel sorry for the sailors and officers that will have to serve about the "USS Peanutbrain". They will have to survive a fleet of jokes about;
1.) how this is the first ship designed to surrender to the enemy as a military tactic
2.) that the only food that will be served aboard is chicken, never rabbit
3.) that Fidel will accompany Jimmy when he makes his first inspection of the finished sub
4.) and that this sub will have no sonar, radar, periscope, or visual devices of any kind, so it can exist entirely within its own reality, and ignore all the facts around it.

God help the crew of a ship named the USS Bill Clinton.

It is actually a little dinghy...small enough to fit in a bathroom sink, and operated by one man (intern optional).

[quantim]

And possibly the father of the ugliest daughter ever to be in the white house.

You mean Clinton? Speaking of ugly daughters...LOL.

You forget Jimmy the cartah spent his time in the Navy's submersible service as a nuclear engineer.

That is why he could ask aimee about nuclear weapons reductions

[Political Junkie Too]

Will they christen the USS Jimmy Carter in the same manner that his brother Billy "christened" whatever wall he was near?

-PJ

[cynicom]

That will be on the outside. On the inside the crew will refer to it as the "Good Ship Lollypop"...More fitting to carters character.

[Thinkin' Gal]

If you think service on the CARTER would suck, just wait until the CLINTON gets launched! Imagine the jokes there! And what kind of a vessel will it be?

[Lion Den Dan]

I am sorry for the brave men who will sail her. This boat is misbegotten from the first weld upon her keel.

[Severa]

There's been a few exceptions. One is for Bush Sr., the latest Nimitz class aircraft carrier in the works is named after him. Also there's the USS Hyman G Rickover (SSN 709), named after the 'Father of the Nuclear Navy'. Admiral Rickover died about 3 yrs after his boat was launched.

[Libloather]

...in the same manner that his brother Billy "christened" whatever wall he was near?

I've never had one, but I've heard stories of Billy Beer floats...

Is that the tourist guy under that hood?

Could be. Then again, could be Hillary Clinton. Let your imagination run wild. ; )

[Rebelbase]

Thanks. I missed spraying the keyboard by a hare.

[Severa]

PING for my husband to read when he gets home...

[gitmo]

Is it a nookier sub?

[mylife]
