Nope. Active/planned CVNs:

Enterprise (65)
John F. Kennedy (67)
Nimitz (68)
Dwight D. Eisenhower (69)
Carl Vinson (70)
Theodore Roosevelt (71)
Abraham Lincoln (72)
George Washington (73)
John C. Stennis (74)
Harry S. Truman (75)
Ronald Reagan (76)

It's all political, in who gets the name.
Jimmy Carter is the 3rd (and last) Seawolf submarine, SSN-23.
