On February 17th, the U.S. Naval Academy held a ceremony to officially rename Building 105 after former President Jimmy Carter, the only Naval Academy graduate to become president. The renaming was a result of the Naming Commission recommending that all Department of Defense assets named for individuals who served in the Confederacy be renamed. Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro gave remarks on Carter’s career, which included his time in the Navy, during which he had several noteworthy experiences. Despite his short time in the Navy, there is reason to believe that he would have had a successful career had he stayed.
