LCDR William F. Bundy, Jr.
USS HAMPTON (SSN 767)
Nominated by the U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion Program

LCDR William Bundy graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with a degree in Systems Engineering, and from the Wharton School of Business with a Master of Business Administration.  LCDR Bundy is currently Chief Nuclear Engineer aboard the fast attack submarine USS HAMPTON. 

He is responsible for the safe management, operation, maintenance, and administration of the nuclear reactor complex, habitability equipment, structural components, and electrical systems onboard the two billion dollar submarine.  This means he is responsible for all of the required equipment to sustain life inside of a steel tube.  As one can imagine, this includes: electricity generation; oxygen production and distribution; carbon dioxide/monoxide removal equipment; potable water generation and supply and waste removal components. Comparatively, he is responsible for all of the facilities necessary to manage all aspects of a small, modern, city; not to mention simultaneously being directly responsible for the lives of all the sailors onboard while, on a daily basis, driving the ship in harm's way.  His responsibilities are defined; however, they are endless.
