So who was speaking? A CPO or some officer who got his info from a CPO? Regardless it did a bunch of damage.

As a Navy type, I read the headline and my first thought was some reporter snuck into the CPO club and ‘overheard’ a conversation.
BUT
The First line mention the ‘Navy’s top officer’
Also in today’s world when you have a pResident reading a ‘speech’ and saying CorpSEman for Corpsman and local news readers (IN DC) looking at her script and mentioning the fire stops, looks twice then says U S Bon.......etc etc.
Apparently the idiots don’t read what they are given, just take it and run with it.
I (unfortunately) ‘met’ Barbara Boxer and had on a ships cap and she ‘A long time Politician in a big NAVY state’ asked me if USS Terrell County meant where I came from and what state.
I looked at her, shook my head and asked someone to put Rush on the radio...
“Navy Chief” in this context means the “Chief of Naval Operations”, the top uniformed officer in the Navy.
