The commander of a fast-attack submarine was relieved of his duties last summer after admitting he paid for “female accompaniment” during a stop in the Philippines, a Washington state newspaper reported Friday.
Capt. Travis Zettel, who lost his job aboard the USS Bremerton in late August because of “a loss in confidence in his ability to command,” was reassigned to the Submarine Squadron 19 staff at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, Navy officials said at the time.
The Kitsap Sun of Bremerton, Wash. — where the Bremerton began its decommissioning last spring — based its report on documents received through a Freedom of Information Act request.

During the submarine’s March visit to Subic Bay, Philippines, Zettel was seen with 10 “provocatively dressed females outside the front door of [his] hotel,” a sailor told the Naval Criminal Investigative Service after calling an Inspector General hotline, according to the newspaper.
The tipster said Zettel told him and another sailor that he’d “ordered ten girls,” the report said. Another sailor told investigators he saw Zettel walking around and talking to other sailors in his command with “three local females holding onto his arm.”
The newspaper said NCIS agents later confronted Zettel with the allegations and that he “admitted culpability in the payment of female accompaniment.”
During the incident, the Bremerton — then based at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam — was on the final patrol of its nearly four-decade career. The Navy’s oldest active submarine then left Hawaii on April 20 for Bremerton, Wash., to be decommissioned.

US Navy sub commander demoted after hiring prostitutes
A Navy submarine commander was disciplined and demoted last summer after admitting to paying for female prostitutes while stationed in the Philippines.
Capt. Travis Zettel lost the confidence to command the attack submarine USS Bremerton and was relieved of duty back in August following the investigation.
The investigation by the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) was launched following a sailor’s tip to the Department of Defense Inspector General’s hotline, saying Zettel told him he “requested/ordered ten girls to arrive at the hotel,” according to documents obtained by the Kitsap Sun.

The sailor later saw the commander with around 10 “provocatively dressed females outside the front door of the hotel.”
Another sailor also apparently enjoyed the company of women and was seen with three “local females holding onto his arm as he was wandering around” and greeting his fellow sailors.

The incident occurred in March 2018, while being ported in Subic Bay in the Philippines. The criminal investigation began in May.

NCIS agents reportedly confronted Zettel with the allegations. He admitted “culpability in the payment of female accompaniment,” according to the documents released to the publication.
The second accused sailor was interviewed, but he “did not participate in prostitution.” He wasn’t disciplined.
Zettel became the commander of Bremerton, the Navy’s oldest submarine before its recent decommission, in August 2016.

“Becoming the 15th commanding officer of the now 35-year-old ‘American classic’ is a proud moment for me and my family,” Zettel said in 2016 after taking control of the sub.
Following the investigation, he was reassigned to the staff of Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor-based Submarine Squadron 19, Navy officials told the Kitsap Sun.

【文/观察者网 王世纯】据美国《基萨普太阳报》（Kitsap Sun）1月11日报道，去年3月1日，“洛杉矶”级攻击核潜艇“布雷默顿”号（SSN-698）在停靠菲律宾苏比克湾时，艇长特拉维斯·策特尔（Travis Zettel）叫了10名当地妓女到酒店。他被下属举报在去年8月遭革职。
虽然事件发生在去年，但是这个新闻是近期才被美国媒体曝光的。根据《联邦信息自由法》（federal Freedom of Information Act）的规定，《基萨普太阳报》在近期获得了这一事件的细节并曝光了这一丑闻。布雷默顿位于华盛顿州基萨普县，《基萨普太阳报》作为布雷默顿当地日报，对以本市命名的潜艇自然是比较上心。
据《基萨普太阳报》获得的文件显示，美国海军犯罪调查处（NCIS）是在接到一名水手举报以后才开始调查的。当时调查处接到举报称，策特尔在停靠菲律宾期间要求他的手下，“带10名妓女来酒店”。

随后文件显示，有水手当时看到这位指挥官和大约10名“穿着挑逗的女性在酒店前门”。在他四处走动时，三名当地女性“抓住他的手臂”，向他的船员打招呼。随后这名水手向美国“纪委”——国防部总检察长热线，举报了这位舰长。
这起嫖娼丑闻发生在2018年3月，当时该舰正例行停靠在菲律宾苏比克湾。刑事调查于五月开始。海军犯罪调查处的探员向策特尔提出了有关嫖娼的指控。根据发布给媒体的文件，策特尔供出了自己嫖娼一事，并承认当时在菲律宾“的确花钱征召过妓女”。
随后海军于2018年8月份解除了策特尔的指挥权。
除了舰长以外，另外一名水手也接受了海军犯罪调查处的调查。但这名水手声称自己“没有参与嫖娼活动”，他请了一位律师并且法庭认定他在此案中无罪。
在2016年8月，策特尔成为了美国海军“最老”潜艇的指挥官。“布雷默顿”号于1981年服役，至2016年已经达35年。
泽特尔在2016年接管潜艇后表示：
与此同时，虽然被革职，但是这位精力旺盛的艇长仍然保留了军籍。海军官员对《基特萨普太阳报》说，调查结束后，他被调到位于基萨普海军基地第19潜艇中队。

原定该艇在2017年退役，但因故延迟。在发生招妓事件后，该艇于4月返回了位于夏威夷珍珠港的基地（第1潜艇中队），随即退役。服役37年的该艇也成为美军服役年数最长的潜艇。之后她前往西海岸的布雷默顿接受退役处理。与此同时，虽然被革职，但是这位精力旺盛的艇长仍然保留了军籍。海军官员对《基特萨普太阳报》说，调查结束后，他被调到位于基萨普海军基地第19潜艇中队。
