In this rare and historic footage from February 19, 2005, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter (now both deceased) attended the commissioning of the USS Jimmy Carter; the Navy's newest and most advanced attack submarine. This Seawolf-class submarine, named in honour of the 39th President, was designed for stealth and intelligence missions. The ceremony took place at the naval base in Groton, Connecticut, marking a historic moment for both the U.S. Navy and President Carter, who is the only U.S. president to have qualified in submarines.

Watch this special throwback to hear President Carter’s powerful words during the event.
