Six US Presidents who served in the United States Navy. If I pose this question How many US Presidents served in the Unites States Navy and then asked you to name them, I would hope to have this response. John F Kennedy. President: 1961-1963. Served as a Lieutenant USNR. Sunk in PT Boat 109. Lyndon B. Johnson. President: 1967-1969. Became a Commander USNR. Richard M. Nixon. President: 1969-1964. Went on to make Commander USNR. Gerald R. Ford. President: 1974 - 1977. Served in the light aircraft Carrier Monterey in the Pacific war. Later promoted Lieutenant Commander USNR. Jimmy Carter. President: 1977- 1981. Lieutenant. USN. The only President to enter the US Naval Academy in the Class of 1947. Served in both surface ships and Submarines Pomfret and K1, qualified to command a Submarine. When his father died in 1953, resigned so that he could take control of family interests. It is interesting I could not unearth a photo of Jimmy Carter in Naval Uniform. George H. W. Bush. President: 1989 -1993. Enlisted in the Navy after Pearl Harbor as an 18 year old, and undertook flight training, was commissioned as an Ensign, to become the youngest Naval Aviator to then. Served in USS San Jucinto, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. The President's Room Navy Memorial, Washington DC.
