New Maritime Strategy to Focus on 'Soft Power' (Washington Post)

<p>If I understand correctly the current Supe was assigned by the “old” CNO with a new CNO taking over the position in the past several weeks. It has been suggested many times that Adm. Mullen, the previous CNO, would have advised Adm. Fowler about what he felt needed to be changed at the Academy. Would Adm.Roughead, as incoming CNO, have had any input into the process/decisions? Would the decision even have been made in June, when Fowler took over, about who would follow Adm. Mullen?</p>
