Return to Our Submarine History

The following is copied from an e-mail that I received in response to a question about President Carter's service in submarines.

Mr. Harrison,

Upon graduation from the Naval Academy. President Carter had assignments on the following submarines:

17 Dec 1948 - 1 Feb 1951 USS Pomfret (SS 391)
10 Nov 1951 - 16 Oct 1952 USS K-1 (SSK-1)


President Carter was never assigned to a nuclear sub, but did do research and development work under Admiral Rickover for the Sea Wolf's construction.

Thank you for your suggestions. Our website is being updated and added to continuously.
