There is a sub named Carter. Only boat that has no nickname and is only referred to by its sail number.
It also is one of the most secretive of a secretive fleet. As part of my job I occasionally interact with people at Navsea and that boat’s special missions get alluded in some folks comments, but never with any details. Just enough to know that it’s duty cycle is not like any of the other boats in the sub fleet.
Carter was not a good president but unlike Slick Willy and the Obamanation of Desolation I don’t think he hated his country. As he was a submariner I have no issue with a submarine being named after him
Didn’t know and not surprised at all.
