#1 Hazard his ship did he? Perhaps a comely lass led him astray onto the rocks and shoals.

#2 The Navy declined to provide specifics about why Commander Thomas C. Graves was removed as senior officer

....did he angrily pound on someone's porthole. Were diapers involved, mace or pepper spray, a knife, or platic bags? Lets just.... keep this all very quiet for now. It's the Navy way.

#3 The commander of the USS Constitution was relieved of duty because of a "loss of trust and confidence in his ability to command,"

I suppose keelhauling went out with rum, sodomy, and the lash.

#4 Probably it's less exotic than that. Sounds like a medical issue to me.

#5 Although a rum-drunk, run amok does sound more romantic.

#8 Maybe he playing paratrooper and kept jumping off the yardarm (like the one idjit in Hawaii who had been, and thought he still was. Must be a common condition.)

In all seriousness - likely medical.
