No incredulity regarding all three at once? I am not a vet (but I love The Caine Mutiny)but that sounds like an incredible scenario to me. In my medical office I always tell my staff at a moment of incompetence “ I am not mad at you, I am mad at the person who hired you”

To have all three gone means I go head hunting for the Admiral that signed off on their orders and demand an immediate resignation

Stick to medical office advice.

Why should the Admiral resign? What did he do wrong? Sometimes commanders and their subordinates do very stupid things. That demand removal. Maybe they had perfectly clean records before.
