Damn. I hate losing a good officer. He’s gonna be removed real quick.
This guy got fired when Reagan was president.
Navy Ill-Equipped to Fight a Restricted War in Gulf
L.A. Times, October 25, 1987
"The Navy's attitude toward working with other services was also a major factor in the Oct. 1 firing of Adm. James A. (Ace) Lyons Jr. Navy sources say Lyons, who was Pacific Fleet commander, was forced into retirement after he scuffled with the Defense Department's top brass over which of the military services should run the Persian Gulf escort operation."
Just FYI...
Lyons is in his late 80s and has been retired for something like 25 years.
Did you see the Admiral?
