San Diego has its second new “Navy mayor” in less than a year as the service’s installation command shuffles its leaders amid an environmental crisis in Hawaii.
Rear Adm. Brad Rosen took charge of San Diego-based Navy Region Southwest Monday at a ceremony at Naval Air Station North Island, the Navy announced in a news release. Rosen, a freshly-minted one-star admiral, most recently served as chief of staff, Navy Installations Command, in Washington, D.C.
Navy Region Southwest serves 10 Navy bases across six states and includes 76,000 active-duty sailors, the Navy said.

..."In April, the Navy fired the commander of its Hawaii supply logistics center, Capt. Albert Hornyak, after a second fuel leak at the Red Hill facility.
The Navy said the leadership changes are not connected to the Red Hill fuel spills.
“This change of command is not connected to the Navy’s water system monitoring in Hawaii nor the closure of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility,” said Mike Andrews, a Navy Region Hawaii spokesperson, in an email. “On March 11, the Department of Defense announced a number of flag moves, including the assignment of a new admiral to Navy Region Hawaii. Within Navy Installations Command, six change of commands will take place this summer, several of them after one year at their current command.”
