Submariner Who Turned Commander-in-Chief

Newly married and sworn as a Naval officer, Jimmy Carter left his tiny hometown in 1946 hoping to climb the ranks and see the world.

The untimely death of his father, a farmer, brought the submariner and his wife, Rosalynn, back to a rural life they thought they'd escaped.

The lieutenant would never be an admiral. Instead, he became commander-in-chief.

And, years after his presidency ended in humbling defeat, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
