Reflections on the USS New Jersey SSN 796 Commissioning

September 15, 2024:  As President of the Greater Atlantic City Chamber, I’ve had the incredible privilege of being part of a momentous journey over the past couple of years, culminating in yesterday’s  commissioning of the USS New Jersey (SSN 796), “Devils of the Deep”. This experience has filled me with a profound sense of humility and gratitude, and I’m honored to share this reflection with you.

Just last week, I had the opportunity to tour the USS New Jersey submarine, getting a firsthand look at this marvel of modern naval engineering. The tour set the stage for the unforgettable commissioning ceremony yesterday at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown, New Jersey, attended by an impressive crowd of more than 4,000 people.
