The Navy has permanently removed the skipper of the aircraft carrier Enterprise and replaced him with a top officer in the service's cyber warfare office.
The commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, Adm. John C. Harvey Jr., relieved Enterprise skipper Capt. Owen Honors after videos he produced four years ago during his deployment as the carrier's executive officer were posted online this week. Harvey said Honors showed "extremely poor judgment" in the videos that included anti-gay slurs and sexual innuendo.

The videos were telecast once a week in 2006 and 2007 to the Enterprise's entire crew on the ship's closed-circuit television system
Also assigned to the Enterprise, presumably with a TV-equipped stateroom, was the admiral in charge of the naval task force of seven warships that sailed with the Enterprise. That post was held successively during 2006 and 2007 by Rear Adm. Daniel P. Holloway and Rear Adm. Raymond A. Spicer. All three men, who together with Honors are graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, currently hold senior positions within the Navy.

the gay slur ... towards another officer.
"Over the years I've gotten several complaints about inappropriate materials in these videos, never to me personally but, gutlessly, through other channels,'' Honors tells the camera. "This evening, all of you bleeding hearts and you, fag SWO boy, why don't you just go ahead and hug yourself for the next 20 minutes or so, because there's a really good chance you're gonna be offended tonight.''
