Cabins Controversies
In 2014 the Briselle Post reported that Senior Officers aboard the Earl resided in luxury cabins, referred to on board as the "apartments", that cost four times what would generally be expected for officers of their rank. Admiral Wendall Haynes, the commander of the 2nd Fleet, reportedly had "palace like rooms... rivaling Beaumont or Pritchett". It would later be revealed that Senior naval officers lobbied within the naval liason office at Monroe to ensure that high quality accomodation would be available for them.
In January 2015 a Special Inquest within the Navy began and after findings were reported four senior naval officials resigned, including Vice Admiral George Satterlee.
