Relieved for hitting a buoy? Has to be much more going on here.

In any case, don’t ask, don’t tell.
Or is it now ask, tell?

a bouy

The right kind of buoy could screw up a tin can. And if you cannot stay within the buoys you could just as easily hit the dock.

Off with his head. So to Speak.

In an era with fewer and more expensive ships, perfection is expected by the brass. That’s foolish and doomed to fail, but that’s the way it is. The great naval commanders in our history couldn’t make it as officers today. They’d be drummed out for foolishness like this.There will be no more Arleigh Burkes beaching their destroyers on purpose in the future of this Navy.

Wow. Wrapped it around a shaft or maybe damaged the sonar dome. That’s the only way to do $200k+.

Isn’t that ship also a high profile command not just any Commander would get?

Yeah, IIRC Chester Nimitz lead a four ship squadron of destroyers aground in heavy fog at high speed while attempting to enter San Francisco Bay.

It came real close to ending an otherwise superb career.
