Which submarine has a 100-foot hull extension?

• A. USS Los Angeles (SSN-688)
• B. USS Nautilus (SSN-571)
• C. USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23)
• D. USS Connecticut (SSN-22)

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is recognizing a unique hull modification that sets a submarine apart from its peers. The USS Jimmy Carter received a substantial 100-foot hull extension during a major refit to create significantly more internal space for mission equipment and crew accommodations. That kind of large-lengthening modification is not found on the other submarines listed, which kept their standard hull lengths. Because of this distinctive feature, it stands out as the only submarine among the options with a 100-foot hull extension.
