San Diego region admiral had been in charge for 10 months
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.
Rear Adm. Stephen Barnett is leaving to assume command of both Navy Region Hawaii and Naval Surface Group Middle Pacific, the Navy said. BarnettThe commander he’s replacing — Rear Adm. Timothy Knott — has also served in his job less than a year, having taken charge in June 2021. Knott’s tenure has been mired by a devastating environmental crisis kicked-off by a November fuel leak from the Navy’s Red Hill fuel storage facility which serves Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu.
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.
