The damage was repaired and Jimmy Carter left New London the following day, arriving at Bangor the afternoon of 9 November 2005. Jimmy Carter began a transit from NSB New London to her new homeport at the Bangor Annex of Naval Base Kitsap, Washington on 14 October 2005 but was forced to return when an unusually high wave caused damage while the submarine was running on the surface. On 22 December, Electric Boat delivered Jimmy Carter to the US Navy, and she was commissioned 19 February 2005 at NSB New London. On 19 November 2004 Jimmy Carter completed alpha sea trials, her first voyage in the open seas. Intelligence experts speculate that the MMP may find use in missions as an underwater splicing chamber for optical fiber cables. Jimmy Carter has additional maneuvering devices fitted fore and aft that allow her to keep station over selected targets in odd currents. One result of the changes was that Jimmy Carter was commissioned more than six years after USS Connecticut and almost four months after the commissioning of USS Virginia, the first of the Virginia-class subs. Jimmy Carter was christened on 5 June 2004, and the ship sponsor was former First Lady Rosalynn Carter. This section is fitted with an ocean interface for divers, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and special operation equipment ROV handling system, storage, and deployment space for mission systems, and a pressure-resistant passage between the fore and aft parts of the submarine to accommodate the boat's crew. During modification, her hull was extended 100 feet (30 m) to create a 2,500-ton supplementary middle section which forms a Multi-Mission Platform (MMP). Electric Boat was awarded an $887 million extension to the Jimmy Carter contract on 10 December 1999 to modify the boat for testing new submarine systems and classified missions previously carried out by USS Parche. Original schedules called for Jimmy Carter to be commissioned in late 2001 or early 2002. The contract to build Jimmy Carter was to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 29 June 1996, and her keel was laid on 5 December 1998. Extensively modified from the original design of her class, she is sometimes described as a subclass unto herself. The only submarine to be named for a living president, Jimmy Carter is also one of the few vessels, and only the third submarine of the US Navy, to be named for a living person. Commissioned in 2005, she is named for the 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, the only president to have qualified on submarines. USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) is the third and final Seawolf-class nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine in the United States Navy. 2 steam turbines 57,000 shp (43 MW) Ĩ × 26.5 inch torpedo tubes, sleeved for 21 inch weapons (up to 50 Tomahawk land attack missile/ Harpoon anti-ship missile/ Mk 48 guided torpedo carried in torpedo room) ĭiagram of Jimmy Carter, showing added features.Bangor Annex of Naval Base Kitsap, Washington
