Navy Relieves Newport Commander

by Bryan Strawser · Aug 27, 2003

The Navy announced late yesterday that it had relieved Capt. Ruth A. Cooper of her command of Naval Station Newport because of alleged mismanagement at the military base.

Rear Adm. Joseph A. Walsh, commander of Navy Region Northeast, removed her “after losing confidence in Cooper’s judgment and ability to command,” according to a statement the Navy released. She has been temporarily reassigned to a position with Navy Region Northeast. [Providence Journal]
