USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) is the third and final Seawolf-class nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 2005, she is named for the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, the only president to have qualified on submarines. The only submarine to have been named for a then living president, Jimmy Carter is also one of the few vessels, and only the third submarine of the US Navy, to have been named for a living person.
Extensively modified from the original design of her class, she is sometimes described as a subclass unto herself.
