Acting Navy Secretary Clears Blue Angels Crew, No Discipline Issued
Hung Cao posted the verdict himself on X, closing the internal debrief without any hearing or independent review.
- Cao announced the finding on his own X account, not a Navy press release.
- His post read: 'Flight debrief complete. No reprimands. No firings. No problem.'
- The debrief examined the Blue Angels' low pass over beachgoers that sparked scrutiny.
Why it matters: The Navy investigated itself and declared itself blameless, with no outside review to confirm it.
