I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

He went to Georgia Tech
before he went to the Naval Academy. Many people do this, but I wouldn't consider it a transfer because, if I remember correctly, not one credit transfers over from a college when someone transfers to a US military academy.
Getting this thread back on track, normally getting an aircraft carrier named after you is a higher honor than a submarine. Not in this case. The Seawolf class submarine is the most capable attack submarine ever built, and it will probably be decades until a better submarine will be built. Only three Seawolfs were built. The final one, the
Jimmy Carter is even more special because it has an extended hull to accommodate special operations.
This former submariner is getting the very best attack submarine ever built named after him. That is a very high honor in my book.
