I've been waiting for someone to post this. It first hit the surface warfare officers online communities, then the blogs, then Time, and recently local newspapers in heavily Navy areas like San Diego.
Holly Graf: Navy Relieves Harsh Commander of USS Cowpens - TIME
USS COWPENS is forward deployed in Yokosuka. I have never been aboard her, but I've stood directly below her. I also don't know CAPT Graf personally, and have said all I intend to say on the aforementioned SWO forums, which restricts membership to naval officers or officer cadets. I won't say anything here.
I am, however, curious what others think of this, especially those also living in Japan.
