Captain Owen Honors has been permanently removed from his duties (not temporarily, as reported last night) over a series of raunchy videos he produced and broadcast to the crew of the USS Enterprise in 2006 and 2007, when he was then XO.
"A replacement commander is expected be named at 2 p.m., although the ship will still sail in two weeks for a war zone. Honors is not expected to be kicked out of the Navy, but losing command of the carrier will surely end his career advancement."
