The Navy this week announced a series of promotions and new assignments for flag officers, including a new head of submarine forces in the Pacific.
The service on Thursday issued a list of 25 rear admirals with new upcoming assignments.

Brendan McLane, who has been a special assistant to the head of U.S. Fleet Forces, is getting promoted to two-star admiral and will lead SURFLANT.
