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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
