Navy to pull battle ship captains ashore for Pacific voyage
The Navy plans to send ashore up to five senior captains, likely four, to command large ships on an Atlantic to Pacific cruise. Secretary Metcalf and President Roosevelt back a program to promote younger officers, retire older ones gradually, and place capable leaders in the giant ships. The shift would move captains toward rear admiral rank as younger commanders assume command and advise from a higher rung.
