George Wallace
Born and raised in Eastern Ohio, Commander George Wallace got his commission in the US Navy and a degree in engineering from The Ohio State University.

After the memorable interview with Admiral Rickover, he got accepted into the submarine communities and nuclear power. George served on two of Admiral Rickover’s famous “Forty One for Freedom”, the USS Woodrow Wilson SSBN 624, and the USS John Adams SSBN 620 during which time he made nine one hundred day deterrent patrols through the Cold War’s height.

He served as Executive Officer on the Sturgeon class nuclear attack submarine Spadefish. Spadefish and all of her sisters were decommissioned during the downsizing that occurred during the nineties. The passing of this great ship served as the inspiration for the novel “Final Bearing”.

He then commanded the Los Angeles class nuclear attack submarine USS Houston SSN 713 from early 1990 until August 1992. During this tour of duty George worked extensively with the SEAL community to develop SEAL/submarine tactics. It was under his command that the Houston was awarded the CIA Meritorious Unit Citation.

In the year 1995, Commander Wallace retired to the civilian business world, after having spent twenty-two years of service on nuclear submarines.
