Vice Admiral William Moran, who was set to become the Navy's top uniformed officer, has decided to retire from the Navy and will not take on the role of Chief of Naval Operations, after the Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer called Moran's judgment into question over a professional relationship he maintained with a former Navy public affairs official, who left the Navy after an investigation into incidents of sexual misconduct.
Moran decided to retire due to a situation where he"maintained a professional relationship with an individual who was held accountable and counseled for failing to meet the values and standards of the Naval profession," according to a statement by Spencer, which"caused me to call his judgment into question.
Moran said in a separate statement he"made this difficult decision based on an open investigation into the nature of some of my personal email correspondence over the past couple of years and for continuing to maintain a professional relationship with a former staff officer, now retired, who had while in uniform been investigated and held accountable over allegations of inappropriate behavior.
