Robert Lee Leuschner, Jr. (born March 13, 1935) was a rear admiral in the United States Navy. He was Commander of USS Enterprise from 1983 to 1986.[1]
Relief of command
The then-Capt. Robert Leuschner was replaced 27 January 1986 as skipper of the USS Enterprise after the ship struck a rock 100 miles west of San Diego in November 1985, causing $17 million in damage to the hull.[2]
