USS Jimmy Carter To Be Christened In CT

Jimmy Carter Library Mar 28, 2004 1:32 pm US/Eastern (1010 WINS) (GROTON, Conn.) The third and final Seawolf-class submarine, the USS Jimmy Carter, will be christened June 5.

The ceremony is conducted by Electric Boat, and kicks off the process for delivering the submarine to the Navy later this year.

"The christening of the ship is a shipyard affair," said Navy spokesman Lt. Phil Rosi. "We participate, certainly, but they have the lead on it."

The Georgian Naval Community is looking for sponsors to support the future sailors and crew of this fine new ship. Any takers.... What's is this ship's NICKNAME??

Yep. Jimmah only rates a sub (albeit a very awesome sub.)

I wonder if this is a Nuclear sub? If so, I want to put a yellow diamond sign in its back window that says, "Reactor on Board".

I pray that the crew of this new Seawolf will be more competent than its namesake's administration.

Nickname? Killer Rabbit

hahaha! I was just thinking - "I didn't know we had an Appeaser class sub..."

[Pyro7480]

I hope one of the first things this submarine does is fire a battery of Tomahawk missiles at Iranian or North Korean nuclear sites. That will show the real-life Jimmy Carter! ;-)

..and the Commander will be Ted "Swim-coach" Kennedy.

Oh, man, I quick-read the headline and thought they were about to canonize ol' Peanuthead.

And they would, too, if Southern Baptists made saints.

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

And surrendered to the U.N. on June 6.
