From a reader:

As a proud alumnus of the General Dynamics – Electric Boat nuclear submarine yard, I can guarantee that they will deliver one of, if not THE most absolutely sophisticated weapons platforms on the planet today.
Electric Boat also has an unparalleled safety record of never having lost one of their boats to anything other than enemy action. That yard is second to none in the world.
While naming this boat for Carter resounds with irony, it will be lost on most of the fleet and crew. More than 98% of those who will initially crew her are already far too young to know or care. As years go by, that irony will lessen to become a minor historic curiosity.
In the meantime, THIS crew (actually 2 crews for each submarine — an alternating Blue and Gold crew) will have the unquestioned honor and privilege of ‘owning’ the best boat in the fleet until a successor is delivered. You won’t be able to club the grins off them.
