Do US Presidents use body doubles?

To the best of my knowledge there has never been any body doubles used for the President of the United States other than the movie "Dave."

The Secret Service frequently uses decoys of vehicles and aircraft while transporting the President. When the President is traveling on Marine One there is often one or more decoys of the helicopter which, of course, look exactly the same as one another, and once they are in the air, they leapfrog each other like an aerial shell game to confuse any potential assailants on the ground. But there's never been any credible rumors of Presidents using body doubles like Uday Hussein once did.

Liberty Ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien – Pier 45 – San-Francisco – Californie – Etats-Unis – 8 mars 2008

Photographe : Mike Hofmann

Les Liberty Ship sont des cargos produits en très grande série à partir d'��léments préfabriqués soudés à l'arc électrique et destinés à ravitailler les forces alliées. La technique de fabrication imaginée par l'industriel Henri Kaiser permit d'obtenir des cadences de production qui compensaient les pertes occasionnées par les sous-marins allemands dans l'Atlantique. La durée moyenne de fabrication était de 42 jours avec un record établi à 4 jours au lieu de 12 mois environ pour une fabrication classique. La rapidité de construction et le faible coût de production permirent d'en construire 2 710, ce qui fit de ce navire le modèle le plus construit dans le monde.

Seuls deux cargos sont encore en état de naviguer : ils ont été transformés en navires musées aux États-Unis dans les années 2000, le SS John W. Brown à Baltimore et le SS Jeremiah O'Brien à San Francisco.
