US Navy relieves commander of Middle East destroyer over 'loss of confidence'
Commander Cameron Yaste reportedly removed from duty on USS John S. McCain
By Anadolu Staff
WASHINGTON (AA) – The US Navy has dismissed the commander of a guided-missile destroyer from an aircraft carrier strike group stationed in the Middle East, according to a report.
Commander Cameron Yaste was relieved of his duties as commanding officer of the USS John S. McCain, a guided-missile destroyer stationed in the Gulf of Oman, as reported by the US-based military news site Stars and Stripes.
Rear Admiral Christopher Alexander, who leads the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, made the decision due to a "loss of confidence" in Yaste's command of the destroyer, the report stated.
“There is no impact on the ship's mission or schedule due to the relief,” the Navy said in a statement.
