The Navy is well known for harsh judgments, and there’s very good reasons for it. This decision, as it reads, seems a bit capricious for what really is a process error.<\/p>\n

The commanding officer of a Navy ship was relieved days ahead of a scheduled change-of-command ceremony after an investigation was opened into his decision to make a plaque commemorating his crew’s major weapons seizure in the Middle East, his lawyer said.<\/p>\n

Cmdr. Frank Azzarello was removed from his post on the destroyer Forrest Sherman on Wednesday over what the Navy said was a “loss of confidence in his ability to command.” He was relieved by Rear Adm. Ryan Scholl, the head of Carrier Strike Group Eight.<\/p>\n

Azzarello, who had commanded the destroyer since September 2019, is currently under investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, said Cmdr. Ashley Hockycko, a U.S. Second Fleet spokeswoman. But the command declined to provide further details about what prompted the probe or Azzarello’s relief.<\/p>\n

“It would be inappropriate to discuss any details until completion of an ongoing investigation,” Hockycko said.<\/p>\n

Tim Parlatore, Azzarello’s lawyer, said the Navy sacked the commander over his plan to turn a rusty AK-47 assault rifle into a plaque to celebrate the crew’s celebrated Arabian Sea weapons seizure.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
