I just saw at navy.mil, CNN.com & navytimes.com that Capt Dykoff & Capt Dober (CO & XO) of the USS GW were relieved today as a result of the fire onboard on 22May. i'll post links when I get to a computer vice iPhone.

GW CO & XO relieved

whenever you want to hammer home how far the buck goes in the navy to a JO or a mid, just look for the most recently relieved from command list.
Sucks, but nothing says bring your a-game when you're in charge like seeing a public hanging.
My question for the wiser (read older) guys is any idea why the XO got shitcanned too? Just because of the beds and heads issue with the flammable liquids all over?

Irony...
I'm sure they appreciate your humor
So I have a dumb question, did the skipper of the Forrrestal get shitcanned after the fire during VietNam?
edit: I am not saying he should have, I just can't find any reference to that end of it...sorry about the threadjack.

What about the strike group commander? If the CO and XO were punished, shouldn't he too?
Yah, personal accountability is key. And when you're wearing the sheriff's badge, you better have all your shit in its appropriate sock.
But, really, all the sackings lately?? Seems a little overkill, what with the Nav not actually being a zero defect organization.
You know. . .Nimitz grounded his first command. More than a few COs have been relieved for the same in the last 6 months.

But nimitz didn't have to deal with the media shoving a microscope up his butt and looking for Sh!t, then being pissed when they find it, when he was the guy in charge.
Obviously big Navy didn't think so....
Can'd
I would imagine that he'd be cleared eventually, unless he managed something like this:
After all, these cans don't add up to a single Arleigh Burke.
As far as the GW being a nuke homeported in Japan, do the firings boil down to the host's touchiness on all things nuclear, especially safety?

We did kinda teach them that lesson...twice.
