#8  If it is a purge, we know who to call back.

#7  All three are Commanding Officer's of sea-going vessels, where the confines of shipboard life compress potential personnel frictions and petty behavior. I wonder if the back-channel Master Chief telegraph played a role, or over-played a role?

#4  Previously, this month: "The Navy relieved two commanding officers on Wednesday — both due to loss of confidence in their abilities to command.
Both Capt. Michael D. Nordeen, commanding officer of the amphibious transport dock Mesa Verde, and Cmdr. Alexa Jenkins, commanding officer of the guided-missile destroyer Carney, assumed command of their respective ships in the summer of 2022."
It seems this is a once a month occurance.
