Virginia Pilot

The Navy has opened its probe into the matter of a series of vulgar videos, full of sexual implications and anti-gay remarks, which were produced and shown to the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise while it was deployed for supporting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Chris Sims theCmdrand spokesman of Navy stated that the videos, which were shown to the crew in 2006 and 2007, were not appropriate

The video’s Excerpts and descriptions of their content got first published on Saturday by the Virginian-Pilot newspaper in Norfolk, Virginia.

The video clippings on the website of the paper, reviewed by CNN, showed a man identified by a couple of Navy officials and The Virginian-Pilot as Capt. Owen Honors, who at the time was the executive officer, or second-in-command, of the aircraft carrier. He recently took charge of the carrier, bagging one of the most sought after assignments in the U. S. Navy, which has only eleven aircraft carriers.

Honors were shown cursing along with other members of his staff in an attempt to express humor, according to videos. There are also anti-gay insults, simulated sex acts, and what seemed to be two female sailors in a shower together.

Adm. John Harvey had ordered the probe on Friday .He is the four-star head of the Navy's Fleet Forces Command, after the videos were shown in detail in The Virginian-Pilot. The paper also provided with a link to some of the material, but edited it so that expletives could be censored and some identities of junior Navy crew could be disguised.

On Saturday, CNN left a message for Honors but according to the Virginian-Pilot said he did not reply in response to requests for comment.

The Navy released a statement on Saturday, expressing in part that the production of videos, were not acceptable to the Navy in any point of time.
