I can understand naming ships after great people but none of the past Presidents has been "great". Thanks for stopping by. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Number of Operations Iraq Freedom and Enduring Freedom casualties as confirmed by U.S. Central Command: 4888 I don’t believe any ship should be named after a living President, or person.

The draft dodger? The Commander in Slease. I can see them possibly naming a garbage scow after him. That would be fitting, because in his 8 years of office he did more to trash the Navy than any Presisdent in History. I spent a career in the Submarine Service, that encompassed "chicken shit" Jimmy Carter to Clinton. President Reagan and Bush were great "Commanders in Chief" and won the Cold War on their watch. My question is why they named a submarine after Jimmy Carter, although a fellow Submariner, he was never held in high esteem within our ranks.
