Rear Adm. Michael E. Jabaley has assumed the role of Program Executive Officer for Submarines, succeeding Vice Adm. David C. Johnson. This transition is crucial for the U.S. Navy as it focuses on critical submarine acquisition programs, including the Ohio Replacement SSBN and Virginia class submarines.

Rear Adm. Michael E. Jabaley officially took over as the Program Executive Officer for Submarines on October 30, following the change of command ceremony at the Washington Navy Yard.
Jabaley's responsibilities will include the development, acquisition, modernization, and maintenance of U.S. submarines.
