Talk:USS Jimmy Carter

message: When there is enough room can someone add this photo back in:
It gives a good overview of the entire boat out of the water, not something you see very often, IMO. Right now it would just be overload since there is so little content. PPGMD 22:38, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: It seems odd to me that the "Ordered" date is six months *after* the "Laid down" date. - UtherSRG 13:29, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)
:I can't find the keel laid date; even NVR doesn't have it. Maybe it'll get added when they update the page after Saturday.
:Also, the launch date is listed as 13 May, while the christening date is elsewhere listed as 5 June, which seems a long delay.
:(Also, "The  Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) was moved outdoors for the first time, May 8, 2004 at the General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard." vs. "...moves the third and final  Seawolf-class nuclear attack submarine,  Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), outdoors for the first time on June 4, 2004.")

message: Perhaps it should be noted that the sub is (widely) said to be able to tap undersea cables to intercept communication, it's ironic that it wasn't named the USS Richard Nixon.  One that many people have made note of.
:It was named during the time when the Navy announced that the names of the USS Reagan and USS Bush, it was felt that nothing was named from Democrats, so the Carter was named. Carter was a nuc on the USS Seawolf, a ship that the Navy later used for tapping cables, though Carter wasn't on board for any of those missions. PPGMD 18:51, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Carter was in the Navy, and I do believe he was a nuclear tech of some sort. Simplest, most rational explanation. Jersey John (talk) 02:27, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

text: It's been 18 years since this Talk section was started, and there's still no mention of the sub's interception potential in this article, despite media coverage of it in the context of Edward Snowden's NSA affair.

message: It seems this article uses she and it interchangeably to refer to the submarine.  Could someone decide which it should be and go change all of the pronouns to match?  I'm not an expert so don't know how it should be.

replies: text: I have changed the it's to her, just to standardize it. PPGMD 16:34, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

text: For hundreds of years by tradition the feminine pronouns have been used in reference to ships; that now applies to submarines too. I've been a submariner since 1961. DocRushing (talk) 05:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nuc eng on an SSBN for years - the sub was always "the boat" or "it" - never once did I ever hear the sub referred to as 'she.'50.111.51.247 (talk) 04:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  She? It? 

message: Hi: I'm not good with Wikis, and I don't want to break any links, but the images entitled *sea_trails* should probably be renamed to *sea_trials*.  A trail is a path from here to there, while a trial is an excersize to test capabilities.  The Jimmy Carter is undergoing her trials in these photos, not trails.
:Meh, don't really see a need to, it was my error, but the names are mostly to make them unique so they aren't overwritten, since it's unlikely that there will be another photo with that name I see no reason to. PPGMD 20:02, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

message: This claim is also made here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Ronald_Reagan_(CVN-76)
USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) is a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarrier in the service of the United States Navy. The ninth ship of her class,[1] she is named in honor of former President Ronald Reagan, President of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Upon her christening in 2001, she was the first ship to be named for a living former president.
CVN-76 was named first. I can not claim that CVN-76 was the first USN ship so named but it is clear that SSN-23 can not be.

replies: text: It's amazing how ignorant Americans can be of their own country's history, myself included. However, USS George Washington (1798) was the first ship to be named for any U.S. president, and one who was still alive at the time. USS John Adams (1799) was the first USN ship to be named for a president while he was serving in office, and remained in commission for several years afterwards. They beat Ronald Reagan by about 200 years. - BilCat (talk) 04:53, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  "First to be named for  living president." - not. 

message: According to the wiki page for the Presidential Unit Citation it states under the "Other Actions" section the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) was awarded the PUC sometime in 2012. The source is the US Navy which lists the award of the PUC but gives no details.

thread_title:  Presidential Unit Citation  

message: - First, we don't debate edits via edit summaries using reverts or dummy edits. This is what the article talk page is for. With that said, the  template is a supplemental infobox used on BLP related articles, it is not used on ship articles. You can see this for yourself on the other articles about ships named for US Presidents. Furthermore, this article already has the  template, which is a navbox added to the bottom of the page, same as the on the page you noted in your edit summary; "". Even then, the inclusion of that template is not the norm for these articles, and that issue has been raised at WT:SHIPS. - wolf 12:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
