Adm. Gary Roughead, barely two months into his tour of duty as the Navy's top fleet commander, has been tapped to become chief of naval operations, a defense official confirmed Thursday.Not official - but I'm feeling BostonMaggie's vibe.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Defense Secretary Robert Gates has recommended that President Bush nominate Roughead to succeed Adm. Mike Mullen as the Navy's top officer. He now is head of the Norfolk-based Fleet Forces Command.
And yes, Shoes do rule the Navy.
