>>the USS Jimmy Carter, a Seawolf-class nuclear-powered submarine,
We have a NUCLEAR SUB named for the peanut farmer that deliberately torpedoed America’s lead in nuclear power development, and nearly destroyed our navy in four years? Who’s the genius that named it?
He served on subs, he was a former president, but he was an idiot.
I wouldn’t have named a sub after him, but I have seen worse picks.
Same one that decided to name a ship after a homosexual child rapist?
Considering the things that it is capable of doing, if you were an anti-American despot, would you want to admit that it was the Jimmy Carter which foiled your scheme? If you were Jimmy Carter, would you want your name associated with Tom Clancy type actions?
