Deichler, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, comes to Submarine Squadron Two after serving as Deputy Commander Submarine Squadron 12. His previous submarine tours include USS Springfield (SSN 761), USS Asheville (SSN 758), and USS Pittsburgh (SSN 720).
