Commander, U.S. Fleet Forces, Adm. John C. Harvey, has completed a review, taken all immediate actions and forwarded recommendations to the chief of naval operations for additional actions to be taken by the secretary of the Navy concerning the findings of the investigation Harvey ordered into the production of inappropriate videos aboard aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65).

The investigation documented that at least 25 videos containing inappropriate scenes were produced and shown to the crew of Enterprise from October 2005 to December 2007.

Enterprise's executive officers, as well as other officers and senior enlisted Sailors, were prominently depicted in these videos, acting crudely or in sexually suggestive ways.

The investigation concluded that the production and broadcast of these videos represent a significant departure from expected standards of personal behavior and professional leadership in the Navy. In addition, the investigation confirmed the profound lack of judgment on the part of Capt. Owen Honors, then serving as Enterprise's executive officer. The behavior exhibited during these "XO Movie Night" videos violates long-standing norms of exemplary conduct required of all naval officers by public law and U.S. Navy Regulations (10 U.S.C. 5947 and Article 1131 NAVREGS, respectively).
