This will be the first dive for the former governor of Georgia since his Navy career ended in 1953, and the first dive ever for his wife.

She's the driver?

Carter is a disgrace to the Naval Academy. If he had any character at all, he would confess that he has broken faith with the Brigade of Mishsipmen, and return his diploma---and the cost of his education at USNA.

"This will be the first dive for the former governor of Georgia since his Navy career ended in 1953."
He went to sea on a 688 CL boat in 1977 or 1978 along with ADM Rickover. He also visited a boat in 1979 or 1980 but I don't think he went to sea that time.

Do you think he was a rat when he ran the sub or was it some rebirth required to be a democrat?

If the entire Clinton crime syndicate has 'em, why not?

After his return, Carter plans to hold a news conference Friday to answer questions about his first sub dive in more than 50 years

see any attacking rabbits, Mr Carter?

Although the sub has a lousy name, Popular Science had an article on changes that have been made to the sub. It's now a high-tech spy sub, with all kinds of awesome abilities like a 'garage' for submersibles and diver egress, fold-out electric props that allow the sub to turn on it's length and drift silently, high-tech sonar... Really cool what they did to her.

Here's a LINK to a diagram, the article was in the last few issues of this year.
