New FY-13 Submarine Admirals

In ALNAV 036/12, it appears the long-awaited Navy URL Rear Admiral (Lower Half) list has been announced. As near as I can tell, there were three Submariners selected, as follows:

Navy Capt. Robert P. Burke has been nominated for appointment to the rank of Rear Admiral (Lower Half). Burke is currently serving as Director, Submarine/Nuclear Power Distribution Division, PERS 42, Naval Personnel Command, Millington, Tenn.

Navy Capt. David J. Hahn has been nominated for appointment to the rank of Rear Admiral (Lower Half). Hahn is currently serving as major program manager, Submarine Combat and Weapons Control Systems, PMS-425, Program Executive Office for Submarines, Washington, D.C. (Acquisition Professional)

Navy Capt. Charles A. Richard has been nominated for appointment to the rank of Rear Admiral (Lower Half). Richard is currently serving as chief of staff, U.S. Strategic Command, Special Activities Atlantic, Norfolk, Va.

If you see any other Submariners on the list, please let me know in the comments and I'll update the post. Having only three Submariners put on a star is a fairly low number; we had four last year and five the year before that.
