USS Enterprise Video Scandal Navy Commander Mastermind

The Navy video scandal brought about by Captain Owen Honors has garnered quite a buzz of controversy, but the Navy hasn't revealed the fate of the carrier officer yet. At this point it is unclear whether Honors, captain of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, will keep his position.

According to the Virginian-Pilot, Honors produced and broadcasted a series of short videos during an "XO Movie Night" meant to entertain the crew that featured "anti-gay remarks, sexual jokes, subordinates parading in drag, and sailors pretending to masturbate and shower together" for the crew.

Since an edited version of the video was released by the newspaper over the weekend, U.S. Fleet Forces Command has launched an investigation into Honor's lewd videos.

"The U.S. Navy has not made any official statements or comments on the status of Capt. Honors," a Monday morning statement said. "The investigation currently being conducted will provide the necessary information to make that decision in an informed manner."
