MECHANICSBURG, Pa.-Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) has a new member on its executive command team.

The deputy commander, ships and submarines, is responsible for managing the maritime supply chain across three directorates: Nuclear Reactors and Supply Chain Management, Surface Operations, and Submarine and Aircraft Carrier Operations.
