On this episode of WETSU: a Battleship New Jersey Podcast, CEO and Host Marshall Spevak welcomes Commander Carne Livingston, USN, for an engaging and insightful discussion that captures the breadth of a distinguished naval career.

CDR Livingston exemplifies the phrase “join the Navy, see the world,” having served across a diverse array of platforms—including landing helicopter docks (LHDs), amphibious transport docks (LPDs), and guided-missile destroyers (DDGs). Most notably, he served as the Plankowner Commanding Officer of USS JOHN BASILONE (DDG-122), which was officially commissioned into active service in November 2024.

This episode offers a rare look into the operational realities and leadership demands of modern naval service—through the lens of a seasoned commander and trusted steward of naval tradition. Don’t miss this compelling dialogue with CDR Carne Livingston, a respected officer and steadfast supporter of the Battleship New Jersey.
