With Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen’s nomination to become the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the search will be on for his replacement.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates did not say who would be nominated to take the Navy’s top job. Nonetheless, Adm. Timothy Keating, commander of U.S. Pacific Command; Adm. Gary Roughead, head of Fleet Forces Command; Adm. Harry Ulrich, commander of Naval Forces Europe; Adm. Patrick Walsh, vice chief of naval operations; and Adm. Robert Willard, commander of Pacific Fleet, are some of the more obvious possibilities.
