Both of the senior officers of the Sasebo, Japan-based Amphibious Squadron 11 were fired on Feb. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The squadron\u2019s commander, Capt. George Doyon, was fired for mishandling multiple staff complaints of workplace harassment against the deputy commander, Capt. Jeff Oakey, over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oakey was fired for \u201csubstandard performance,\u201d according to Cmdr. Clayton Doss, spokesman for 7th Fleet, who confirmed the dismissal was because Oakey fostered a poor workplace environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of the complaints against Oakey were sexual in nature, Doss said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2017\/10\/11\/navy-fires-john-s-mccain-leadership-calls-fatal-august-collision-preventable\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/170821-N-WJ640-030.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Navy fires John S.

That investigation confirmed \u201cmultiple allegations\u201d against Oakey and raised additional concerns, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"910\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cmdr._Jeffrey_Oakey.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cmdr._Jeffrey_Oakey.jpg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cmdr._Jeffrey_Oakey.jpg.jpg?resize=300,228 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cmdr._Jeffrey_Oakey.jpg.jpg?resize=768,582 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cmdr._Jeffrey_Oakey.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,777 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Capt.
