Capt. Erica Hoffmann, commanding officer of the guided-missile cruiser Philippine Sea was relieved of her duties on Monday, Navy officials announced. Rear Adm. Richard Cheeseman, commander of Carrier Strike Group Two, lost confidence in Hoffmann's ability to command, Lt. Cmdr. Richlyn Ivey with Naval Surface Force Atlantic said.
"Many factors weigh into a decision to relieve a commanding officer due to loss of confidence," Ivey added.

Quite right Mariner. 12 O’clock High was so good the Coast Guard used it as a training film in Officer Candidate School.

Your point someone failed her is more than obvious since it surely wasn’t the Commander whom opened the wrong valve.
My point is it makes no difference since the Commander assumes responsibility for everything which happens on his watch.
To: CedarDave
I didn’t look at her bio. Thanks!

That explains the fuel spill. That icky liquid stuff is a nuisance compared to fuel rods.

What was she doing at the valve in the first place?
