}}Scott Harbison Swift (born 1957{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}) is a retired admiral in the United States Navy, serving as the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet from May 27th, 2015 to May 17th 2018. He previously served as the director of Navy Staff in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations.[2]

Naval career

Swift attended San Diego State University and received his commission in 1979 through the Aviation Reserve Officer Candidate (AVROC) Program. He received his master's degree from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.

His operational assignments include: Attack Squadron 94 (VA-94); Attack Squadron 97 (VA-97); Attack Squadron 122 (VA-122); Carrier Air Wing 11 (CVW-11) staff; Commanding Officer, Strike Fighter Squadron 97 (VFA-97); Commanding Officer, Strike Fighter Squadron 122 (VFA-122); Commander, Carrier Air Wing 14 (COMCVW-14); Deputy Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command / U.S. 5th Fleet (DEPCOMUSNAVCENT / DEPCOMFIFTHFLT); Commander, Carrier Strike Group 9 (COMCARSTRKGRU NINE), and Commander, U.S. 7th Fleet (COMSEVENTFLT). During those tours he participated in combat Operations Praying Mantis, Southern Watch, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He became Director, Navy Staff in September 2013.

His shore tour assignments include: Naval War College; Commanding Officer, Strike Fighter Weapons School, Pacific; F/A-18 Requirements Officer on the OPNAV staff; Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics staff; and Director of Operations, U.S. Pacific Command.

Swift has been recognized as the Commander, Naval Air Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet Landing Signal Officer of the Year, and was presented the Commander Michael G. Hoff Award as the U.S. Pacific Fleet Attack Aviator of the Year.[3]

He was nominated for promotion to admiral on November 20, 2014 to assume the command of the United States Pacific Fleet and was confirmed by the United States Senate on December 11, 2014.[4] He took over from Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. in a ceremony on May 27, 2015.

During the July 2017 Exercise Talisman Saber, an audience member at Australian National University asked Swift if he would carry out any order from President Donald Trump to launch a nuclear strike on China, to which Swift replied yes.[5]

On September 25, 2017, Swift announced that he would retire after he was notified by the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm John Richardson, that Swift would not be nominated to take over leadership of the United States Pacific Command, the inter-branch theater command for the Pacific region. Swift is among several flag officers to be removed or announce an early retirement following a series of deadly accidents involving Navy vessels in the Pacific Fleet in 2017. [6]

Admiral Swift was relieved by Admiral John C. Aquilino and officially retired from the Navy on May 17, 2018. [7][8]
