Dive deep into the legacy of the USS NEW JERSEY—this time, not the legendary battleship, but the cutting-edge Virginia-class submarine!

In this must-listen episode of WETSU, host and Battleship New Jersey CEO Marshall Spevak sits down with a distinguished guest: CDR Steve Halle (USN), the Plankowner Commanding Officer of the USS NEW JERSEY (SSN-796).

Together, they explore CDR Halle’s remarkable naval career—from his journey through the STA-21 program to navigating the Arctic in ICEX 2018—and the immense responsibility of delivering a nuclear-powered submarine. They also dive into the excitement of Commissioning Week and the enduring bond between the Battleship and its modern namesake. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation with a true leader and great friend of the Battleship, CDR Steve Halle!

Toward the end of Episode 6 of WETSU, Battleship New Jersey CEO and host Marshall Spevak makes a special promise—Battleship New Jersey will match donations to the Family Readiness Groups (FRG) and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) funds. These programs play a vital role in supporting sailors and their families, strengthening the Navy community. This initiative closely aligns with the Battleship’s mission, and we're pleased to support the growing legacy of our namesake boat.
