From Times Wire Reports
The commander of the U.S. attack submarine that collided with a Japanese trawler, killing nine people, will be formally asked to quit the Navy, an official said.
Cmdr. Scott Waddle has been ordered to report to an “admiral’s mast” administrative hearing today, the official said.
Adm. Thomas Fargo, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, will discuss the findings of a court of inquiry--which urged Fargo to choose an administrative punishment--and Waddle’s exit from the Navy.
