In this photo released on March 20, 2014 by the U.S. Navy, patrol coastal ship USS Typhoon launches a surface-to-surface missile during Griffin missile exercise to guard against small boat threats in the U.S. 5th Fleet Area of responsibility. A U.S. Navy investigative report obtained by The Associated Press shows a Navy officer relieved of commanding a Persian Gulf patrol ship failed to maintain equipment to the point of exposing “his crew to unnecessary risk,” interfered with an inquiry into his actions and once slept drunk on a bench at a Dubai port. The report outlines the allegations against the officer's actions, whom the Navy removed from the USS Typhoon in March. (Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Doug Harvey, U.S. Navy via AP)
