The captain of the destroyer USS Arleigh Burke has been fired and is under investigation, Navy officials announced on Thursday.

Cmdr. John Gaines was relieved of command on Thursday “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” according to U.S. 2nd Fleet.

Rear Adm. Craig Clapperton, commander of Carrier Strike Group 12, has ordered an investigation into Gaines, said 2nd Fleet spokeswoman Cmdr. Ashley Hockycko, who declined to specify what the allegations against Gaines are.
