OBAMA NOMINATES RETIRED SUBMARINE CAPTAIN TO DNFSB

The White House late last week nominated Captain Sean Sullivan to serve on the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. If confirmed by the Senate, Sullivan would fill the vacancy created when Larry Brown left the Board last year. Sullivan currently serves as a project manager and analyst for Sonalysts, which provides analysis of submarine sonar systems and a wide variety of airborne, surface, subsurface and land-based Navy systems, according to the company’s website. From 2006 to 2011, Sullivan served as a general civil litigation attorney at Brown Jacobson, P.C. He retired from the Navy in 2006 after 26 years of service, which included serving as the Base Commanding Officer of the Naval Submarine Base New London from 2004 to 2006, according to a White House release.
