What nuclear submarine did Jimmy Carter serve on board?

Jimmy Carter never had the opportunity to serve aboard a nuclear powered submarine, only diesel-electric boats.During 1953, he was training and preparing on what was to be the nuclear reactor aboard the aboard the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), to eventually become its Engineering Officer. During this time, his father became very sick and died, and as a result, Carter resigned his commission to manage family interests. This was several years before Nautilus was completed, launched, and commissioned as the world's first nuclear powered vessel.


If you are attacked by nuclear weapons what will be used to send the bombs?

The most likely form of delivery would be an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, launched from the ground, or from a submarine. The missile flies high into the atmosphere, before splitting into several separate warheads, which then descend to their targets.

How much do submarines weigh?

It varies with size, not quite exponentially (short of a cubic factor), but much greater than linearly.The current Virginia class of U.S. attack submarines, nuclear-powered, displace 7800 tons submerged, according to the official U.S. Navy.The world's largest submarine, to date, the CIS Typhoonclass, also nuclear-powered, (Depicted as the RED OCTOBER in the movies) displace about 48,000 tons.The German-designed Type 205 class submarine, diesel-electric in use in several navies displaces about 450 tons.

Why is a nuclear submarine better than a diesel submarine?

Though Diesel-Electric boats are in fact much quieter on the battery than Nuclear Powered boats (the first thing taught in Sonar school), even with today's battery technology, DE submarines are limited in range, equipment, speed, maneuverability, and weapons they can carry. This in effect limits their overall usage as a weapons/intelligence/covert insertion/Naval escort platform. In the early '60's, there was a big debate over the cost of nuclear powered boats vs. conventional DE submarines, as the success of the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) led the Navy to push for more of its type. A tactical test pitted one NP boat against several DE submarines - in simulated attacks, all DE boats were discovered and sunk by the NP submarine. This is what led to the Navy's current doctrine of using only nuclear powered boats. One of the largest drawbacks to DE technology today is the major advancements in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) technology, which has developed considerably over the years since WWII. Though the biggest threat to any submarine is still a submarine, patrol aircraft (fixed-wing and rotor) use sophisticated sonobuoys and dipping sonars that can direct surface and other air assets to the area to track and destroy a submarine. In such cases, the ability to go deep and rapidly egress the area is paramount, and the speeds/depths of modern NP submarines allows them to do that, where DE submarine technology is limited in that regard.
