Navy Officer Convicted In Collision
Cmdr. Richard B. Varley Jr. was found guilty by an eight officer general court martial of negligently hazarding the destroyer escort Eaton in a May collision with the battleship Wisconsin off the Virginia Capes. He received a sentence of 150 cautions in the Navy Register, reducing chances for promotion to captain, as about 1.3 million dollars in damage was caused to both ships. The trial followed nearly six days of testimony, with defense arguing blame on Capt. Terrell Connor, the screen commander aboard four destroyers, including the Eaton.
