Dude, it Just Sits There
Although I understand that the commander of the USS Constitution does have some complicated duties, this must nevertheless be embarrassing:
The commander of the famed USS Constitution was fired from his post yesterday, two months before his two-year term expired, because the Navy lost confidence in his ability to command the 210-year-old ship, officials said.
Thomas A. Graves took command of “Old Ironsides” in July 2005 in a ceremony before hundreds of spectators who gathered at the Charlestown Navy Yard to watch the ship set sail.
Yesterday, a Navy spokesman said that Graves, who lives in Marblehead, was relieved from the post because the department had lost “trust and confidence” in him.
So, what do you think, maybe he allowed a Royal Navy officer to sneak aboard and steal our latest technology?
