In 1998, the U.S. Navy named the third and last Seawolf-class submarine the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23) in honor of former President Carter and his service as a submariner officer. It became one of the first Navy vessels to be named for a person living at the time of naming.^[21]

Fish species

U.S. Naval Academy building

In February 2023, the United States Naval Academy changed the name of its engineering building from Maury Hall to Carter Hall in honor of the former president and Naval Academy graduate.
