Naval Submarine Base Groton, Conn. (Feb. 19, 2005) -- The crew assigned
to the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23) bring her to life as they board the
newly commissioned Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarine.
Jimmy Carter is the third and final submarine of the Seawolf-class. A
unique feature of the Jimmy Carter is a 100-foot hull extension called
the Multi-Mission Platform, which provides enhanced payload
capabilities, enabling the submarine to accommodate the advanced
technology required to develop and test a new generation of weapons,
sensors and undersea vehicles. U.S Navy photo by Photographer's Mate
