Navy says it will file homicide charges against FIVE officers over two deadly ship disasters last year
The disciplinary actions were decided by Adm. Frank Caldwell and are the latest in a series of moves the Navy has made in the aftermath of multiple collisions
The Navy said commander of the USS John S. McCain, Cmdr. Alfredo J. Sanchez, is being charged with negligent homicide and dereliction of duty
Vice Adm. Joseph Aucoin was fired from his Pacific command while commander of the USS Fitzgerald, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, will likely be charged soon
All individuals alleged to have committed misconduct are entitled to a presumption of innocence
