"Perhaps the closest
thing to THE [Australian Future Submarine] Program Manager is US Navy Rear Admiral (retired) Stephen E.
Johnson... . He is General Manager Submarines in the Capability
Acquisition and Sustainment Group, Australian Department of Defence. Johnson worked for 3 years in the management
team of US Virginia class submarine program (from 1992-1995) and 6 years on the
Seawolf class submarine program (1998-2003). See Johnson’s longer bio here ."
This is indicated 5 days later in Australia's Department of Defence statement https://news.defence.gov.au/media/on-the-record/future-submarine-program-statement of 22 January 2018, which says, in part:
"The team assembled to
manage the Future Submarine Project is led by Mr Stephen Johnson, General
Manager Submarines, who is a highly accomplished program manager.
Mr Johnson served as the Director of the Strategic Systems Program and had
a major role in the design of the United States Virginia Class, as well as
serving as Program Manager for the Seawolf Class. These are the most complex
and advanced submarines available.
Mr Johnson’s biography can be found on the Defence website at this
link: http://www.defence.gov.au/casg/multimedia/stephen_e._johnson_bio_accessible-9-7221.pdf ."
Submarine Matters feels privileged to help Australia's defence in small ways like this.
