A two-star Admiral who got so drunk at a conference dinner he was allegedly unable to stand before locking himself out of his room naked has been officially reprimanded.

Rear Admiral David Baucom is said to have wet himself before he ended up being escorted to his room by a hotel employee after the dinner in Florida last April.

Baucom later got up to go the bathroom, only to find himself locked outside without any clothes on - and was discovered wandering the hotel grounds looking for a towel.

An investigation has found that Admiral David Baucom (pictured) got so drunk at a conference he hit his head, had to be escorted back to his room and then ended up wandering the hotel grounds naked

An investigation found he had drunk - in full or part - a gin and tonic, two glasses of wine, and possibly as many as five scotches.

He hit his head on a bar stool, and allegedly wet himself after the dinner at the Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, before being taken to his room.

Buacom, 56, told investigators a medical condition exacerbated the effects of alcohol.

'After extensive medical testing and diagnoses, four doctors have stated in writing that I most probably experienced an atrial fibrillation event the evening of April 8 which caused lightheadedness, disorientation, dizziness and confusion,' he told the Navy Times:

'These symptoms may last up to 24 hours. I am now being treated for those symptoms and other medical conditions.

'I have served the Navy for more than 34 years and am proud of our institution. I deeply regret my actions caused discredit to the Navy I love.'

The investigation found Baucom - who has served in the U.S. Navy for 34 years - behaved in a way which was unbecoming to an officer and a gentleman.

Baucom was given a punitive letter of reprimand which was permanently filed in his official record.
