Mick sends us a link to the Virginian-Pilot<\/a> which reports that the Navy has sunk another commander’s career. This time it’s Captain Brian K. Sorenson the commander of the USS ANZIO, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser guided missile cruiser. The ANZIO was most recently deployed to recover the 10 sailors who were imprisoned by Iran last month.<\/p>\n

Sorenson wasn’t there, though – he hadn’t been on her decks since September. He was answering to a board for his misconduct while ANZIO was recovering sailors;<\/p>\n

A command investigation obtained by The Virginian-Pilot through the Freedom of Information Act says Sorenson also committed public drunkeness, used alcohol aboard the Anzio, possessed personal firearms aboard the ship, sexually harassed female officers, used indecent language and misused government vehicles. Batchelder wrote that he concurred with all of the investigation’s findings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
