Moran Out as Next CNO As SECNAV Questions Judgment

摘要

Adm. Bill Moran, who was confirmed and set to be sworn in as the next Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) in August, has abruptly declined the appointment and decided to retire after the Secretary of the Navy questioned his judgment. Moran said Sunday he was retiring due to an open investigation into years of email exchanges with a retired former staffer “who had while in uniform been investigated and held accountable over allegations of inappropriate behavior,” according to a statement.
