Navy officers lose jobs over 659 airplane ashtrays
Washington Defense Secretary Weinberger announced that three Navy officers including an admiral with 33 years of service were relieved of duties after a supply depot paid Grumman Aerospace 659 for each of seven airplane ashtrays. The move targets Pentagon supplier relations and signals harsher action for overpricing or fraud. Cassidy, Hakanson, and Lennebateer faced removal or transfer decisions as part of the probe into procurement irregularities at Miramar and the Pacific fleet’s fighter and early warning units.
