HONOLULU (AP) - The Navy has relieved a Pearl Harbor-based submarine commander of his command after he became drunk at a Navy ROTC event.
U.S. Pacific Fleet submarine force spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Dave Benham said Tuesday Cmdr. Jeff Cima was found guilty of drunkenness and conduct unbecoming an officer.
Benham says Cima's squadron's commander found him guilty Monday at a captain's mast, or administrative review.
Cima was removed from his command of the USS Chicago for misconduct and loss of confidence in his ability to command.
He's temporarily assigned to Submarine Squadron Three.
Benham says Cima became drunk at a Navy ROTC event on the mainland last week.
Cima's phone number is unlisted. He didn't immediately return a Facebook message seeking comment.
