CNN —Two US Navy sailors have been indicted and arrested for allegedly sending sensitive US military information to Chinese intelligence officers. The other sailor who has been arrested, Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, worked at Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme in California. In return, Wei allegedly received thousands of dollars. The indictment indicates that Wei received US citizenship during this period, with the Chinese intelligence officer allegedly congratulating Wei on receiving citizenship on May 18, 2022. Much of the information Wei allegedly sent to the Chinese officer was stored on restricted-access Navy computer systems that Wei was able to access because he had a security clearance.

☆ Fires are starting on US warships in port more often than reported, watchdog finds, and it's giving the Navy a 'false sense of security'

Fires are breaking out on Navy ships in port more often than they are reported, a government watchdog found. The GAO flagged multiple problems with the reporting system, as well as how lessons are learned from fires. It said the incomplete picture has "given the Navy a false sense of security." Fires when a ship is in port, particularly when it is undergoing repairs and maintenance, are not uncommon. "As a result," the GAO assessed, "the Navy has lost lessons learned over time—such as steps that a ship can take to improve fire safety."

SAN DIEGO — According to prosecutors, Ryan Sawyer Mays was a young, arrogant sailor angry about being assigned to deck duty after failing to become a Navy SEAL — and he made the Navy pay in a big way. Barthel said the Navy’s case relies largely on the account of a fellow sailor who has acknowledged changing it repeatedly. Still, he said he is speaking out because the Navy case is unjust. Navy leaders disciplined more than 20 senior officers and sailors in connection with what it described as widespread leadership failures that contributed to the disaster. The Navy spread blame across a wide range of ranks and responsibilities and directly faulted the ship’s three top officers.
