Not a very auspicious choice by the U.S. Naval Academy since, in Lt. (Ret.) Jimmuh Carter's last naval engagement on April 20, 1979, his fishing boat was almost sunk by a swamp rabbit that swam at him aggressively.

The U.S. Navy has changed the name of a Naval Academy campus building that formerly held the name of a Confederate leader to honor former Democratic President Jimmy Carter.

The Naval Academy building initially honored Matthew Fontaine Maury, an oceanography trailblazer also known as “pathfinder of the seas� who “resigned his U.S. commission� to join Confederate Naval forces, Navy Times reported. Now, the building will bear the name “Carter Hall� after the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter.
