KINGS BAY, Ga. - Former President Carter completed his first submarine dive since he left the Navy in 1953 aboard a new nuclear vessel that bears his name.
The USS Jimmy Carter pulled into this Navy submarine base Friday after a night of cruising below the waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the Georgia coast.
It is the first submarine named after a living ex-president. Carter, 80, was a submariner during his time in the Navy after graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy.
