On this episode of WETSU, host and Battleship New Jersey CEO Marshall Spevak sits down with Rear Admiral Michael A. York, Commanding Officer of Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support (WSS), for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, logistics, and the quiet systems that sustain American sea power.
In a compelling discussion with the Philadelphia-based flag officer, Admiral York reflects on a distinguished career at sea and ashore—from a Laundry Officer at his alma mater, the United States Naval Academy, to serving as Supply Officer aboard an aircraft carrier USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN-65), to commanding the U.S. Navy Supply Corps School. Along the way, he shares lessons learned from leading sailors, managing complexity, and building trust across the fleet.
Admiral York also offers WETSU listeners an insider’s view of NAVSUP WSS, illuminating the critical role of global supply, sustainment, and replenishment in keeping ships, aircraft, and sailors ready—an often unseen, unrecognized, but absolutely indispensable backbone of fleet operations around the world.
Join us as we open 2026 with another thoughtful and insightful conversation with a senior leader at one of the Navy’s most consequential ashore commands.
