Detailed explanation-1: -Carter was born and raised in Plains, Georgia, graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1946 and joined the United States Navy, serving in the submarine service. Afterward he returned home, where he revived his family’s peanut-growing business.
Detailed explanation-2: -President James Earl “Jimmy” Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946 with distinction, after which he was assigned to USS Wyoming (E-AG 17) as an ensign. After completing two years of surface ship duty, Carter applied for submarine duty.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carter’s father Earl had cancer, and in July 1953, he died.
