Captain Crozier will be reassigned," Adm. Michael Gilday, the Chief of Naval Operations told reporters during a Pentagon briefing, which took place shortly after news of the decision broke. "When this incident first emerged, I declined to comment on the status of Captain Crozier. "Both Admiral Baker and Captain Crozier fell well short of what we expect of those in command. Had I known then what I know today, I would have not made that recommendation to reinstate Captain Crozier. The email was addressed to Crozier's immediate superior Baker and several other senior Navy officials in the region.
