Admiral set to become Navy’s top officer retires over inappropriate professional relationship

Vice Admiral William Moran, who was set to become the Navy's top uniformed officer, has decided to retire from the Navy and will not take on the role of Chief of Naval Operations, after the Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer called Moran's judgment into question over a professional relationship he maintained with a former Navy public affairs official, who left the Navy after an investigation into incidents of sexual misconduct.
