USS Stout Destroyer Cmdr and MC Relieved, 8 Crew Removed For D&D
|
The US Navy relieved a destroyer commander and a Master Chief and removed eight sailors from the USS Stout after misbehavior by the crew in Mediterranean port calls that included drunk and disorderly conduct.
The U.S. 6th Fleet said Cmdr. Nathan Borchers was relieved from the USS Stout on Tuesday. The Navy said it had lost confidence in Borchers' ability to address what it called a pattern of unprofessional behavior by his crew that included fraternization, orders violations and disregard for naval standards.
The ships blog noted that they had recently visited Palermo in Italy, Haifa in Israel, the Greek island of Crete and Faslane, Scotland.
In January, the Navy relieved the commander of the carrier USS Enterprise after outrage was expressed and videos that had been made some years before.
Last month, the command master chief of the USS Ashland was relieved from duty because of an investigation that he had inappropriately touched another sailor.
The Navy said an investigation into allegations of crew misconduct on the USS Stout found there was a substandard command climate on board.
The Navy also removed Master Chief Susan Bruce-Ross, the highest ranking enlisted sailor aboard the ship.
N.B.: The Ashland was a primary test bed for female sailors, and the CMC was relieved for grabbing one of the girls, though you have to dig very deep to find any mention of gender. Ashland has the reputation of a "maternity ship" as well, as from the start, pregnancies were common. The USN officially discourages mention of such things.
