Navy Suspends Enterprise Commander
The Navy has suspended the aircraft carrier commander who made raunchy and anti-gay videos for the entertainment of his crew.
Capt. Owen Honors commands the USS Enterprise and produced the videos while second in command aboard the aircraft carrier. He is to be relieved while the Navy investigates the incident. Made in 2006 and 2007, the videos just came to light over the weekend and show the crew got an eyeful on shipboard TV: Gay slurs, suggestive shower scenes and mimicked masturbation. The Navy said Sunday it will investigate the "clearly inappropriate" videos shown through the nuclear-powered ship's closed-circuit television system as part of an onboard movie night. The Norfolk-based Enterprise was deployed in the Middle East at the time the videos were made and is weeks from deploying again.
