The United States Navy commissioned the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23) Seawolf-class nuclear submarine today. The Jimmy Carter is the third and final sub of the Seawolf class and is the most heavily armed, technically advanced, capable and quiet submarine in the U.S. fleet.
Now some of the more "common-sensed" of you may think that as a liberal, I would dislike new $3.2 billion submarine. Quite the contrary.
The Jimmy Carter can deliver special forces teams to combat theaters undetected and tap undersea cables to eavesdrop on the communications passing through them; all this to provide incredible intelligence opportunities otherwise impossible.
And if push comes to shove, it can single handedly destroy a small country that happens to develop a nuclear weapon. Good Hunting USS Jimmy Carter.

Unfortunatley the real Jimmy Carter couldn't do that when he was in office...
But I must say that a submarine isn't anywhere near the caliber of the USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier...
h.d., you couldn't be more correct in you’re assessment of the USS Jimmy Carter's caliber compared to the USS Ronald Reagan...although not in the respect you intended.
Because of the Carter's intelligence gathering ability, it can save lives and prevent wars before they start as opposed to just taking lives and wining wars like an aircraft carrier excels at.
Furthermore, I must commend you, as a "patriotic" American, for politicizing America's newest naval vessel.
To quote Sonik: "Jolly Good Show."
