 Team, it's my sad duty to inform you that today the Secretary of the Navy and I were told that Vice Admiral Scott Sturney, our commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, commander of U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, was found deceased in his residence in Bahrain today. This is devastating news for the Sturney family, for the team at Fifth Fleet, and for the entire Navy. Scott Sturney was a decorated naval warrior. He was a devoted husband and father, and he was a good friend to all of us. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Bahraini Ministry of Interior are cooperating on the investigation, but at this time no foul play is suspected. Rear Admiral Paul Schles, the deputy commander of Fifth Fleet, has assumed command and is maintaining continuity in our responsibilities and posture in the U.S. Fifth Fleet. I ask that you keep the Sturney family in your prayers and respect their privacy as they navigate through these very difficult times. We will keep you informed as we learn more. Thank you very much.
