Cite some examples of U.S. Navy ship captains committing suicide to avoid embarrassing the Navy

---

I don't have an example, but I did hear of a USCG Captain who was passed over for Admiral who did commit suicide.

I know of no examples either, doubt there were any. Though in May 1996 CNO Admiral Jeremy Boorda committed suicide just before an interview with David Hackworth. Supposedly Hack was going to inquire about ribbons Boorda wore that he may not have been entitled to wear.
