Former Navy Chief of Supply Corps Joins Bartlett Maritime Team
November 15, 2023 (CLEVELAND, OHIO) – Bartlett Maritime Corporation announces retired U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Peter Stamatopoulos has joined the company as a member of the senior advisory board.
The Navy’s 49th Chief of Supply Corps and former commander of Naval Supply Systems Command, Stamatopoulos brings more than 35 years of experience in Navy logistics and supply chain management to the Bartlett Maritime team.
“Rear Adm. Stamatopoulos’s expertise and insight will greatly help us tackle the serious challenges faced by the submarine industrial base,” said Edward L. Bartlett, Jr., Bartlett Maritime Corporation’s founder and chief executive officer. “We are fiercely committed to helping the Navy address the crisis in submarine maintenance. No one has a better understanding than Rear Adm. Stamatopoulos of the strategic approach necessary to improve the Navy’s end-to-end supply chain management and life-cycle sustainment across the entire enterprise.”
As the leader of the Navy’s Supply Corps, Stamatopoulos was the architect of the Naval Sustainment System (NSS) Supply, a $41B strategic-scale design for Navy-wide supply chains to run more effectively and affordably. He also led the creation of $300M of category disruption and growth by combining commercial spares and repairs, yielding a more than 40% reduction in repair-turn-around-times.
“As someone who began my career in the Supply Corps serving aboard an attack submarine, USS Chicago (SSN 721), I have a deep appreciation for Bartlett Maritime’s aggressive and innovative plan to provide urgently needed growth in the submarine industrial base,” said Stamatopoulos. “I’m honored to join a formidable leadership team so strongly dedicated to immediate action.”
Stamatopoulos is a distinguished graduate of the University of San Diego, having earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He also holds an MBA from the Naval Post Graduate School and is a graduate of the Columbia University Senior Executive Program.

About Bartlett Maritime Corporation
America’s submarine industrial base consistently delivered a new submarine into service every 44 days in the 1960’s. As recently as the 1980’s, it delivered five new submarines into service each year while maintaining more than 100 submarines. Today, just as the Navy is being called on to satisfy strategically essential AUKUS obligations, the submarine industrial base is in the midst of a serious crisis. In response, Bartlett Maritime Corporation has prepared an immediately actionable, cost-effective proposal to add required capacity and capability to the submarine industrial base.
