Samantha Carter has collabortated on almost all of Earth's advanced technology from the Daedalus-class battlecruisers, Naquadah generators, the F-302, and many more and a host of other alien technology, Jack O'Neill once emphatically proclaimed her brain to be a national resource.
Her expertise has saved Earth from attack numerous times and her knowledge, wisdom and courage have held her in high regard among many other Humans.
In 2384, Carter was made the commander of the Daedalus-class ship, USS George Hammond which was originally called the USS Phoenix but the ship was later renamed the George Hammond in honor of the former Commander of the Stargate Program, George S.
