NORFOLK, Va. – A Navy admiral on Thursday recommended that the captain who produced and starred in a series of raunchy videos shown to thousands of sailors aboard the USS Enterprise be censured along with three other high-ranking officers.
Capt. Owen P. Honors Jr. was the aircraft carrier’s No. 2 officer when he helped produce and appeared in the series of videos that aired on the ship’s closed-circuit TV station on deployments between October 2005 and December 2007.
The Navy’s investigation found that Honors had produced at least 25 videos with inappropriate scenes, including anti-gay slurs, sailors of both genders in shower scenes and vulgar language. He was relieved of command this January shortly before a planned deployment after Navy leaders learned about the videos from media reports.
