Admiral Scott H. Swift served as the 62nd Commander, United States Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) from May 27, 2015 through May 17, 2018.

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.
