President Carter served as a Lt. Commander aboard a nuclear powered submarine, and qualified as a commander of a diesel powered submarine.

In 1943 Carter was admitted to the United States Naval Academy. Upon graduation in 1946, he began his career in the submarine fleet serving until 1952. Promoted to a LTJG, he completed qualification for command of a diesel-electric submarine. In late 1952, he was admitted to the US Navy's fledgling nuclear submarine program led by then-Captain Hyman G. Rickover.
