The commanding officer and command master chief of the destroyer Bulkeley were relieved of their duties Friday.
Cmdr. Devine Johnson and Command Master Chief Earl Sanders were relieved by Capt. Stefan Walch, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 2, due to a “loss of confidence” in their leadership abilities. No additional details were provided.
Capt. William “Mac” Harkin, deputy commodore of Destroyer Squadron 2, will temporarily oversee commanding officer duties until a replacement is found. Johnson became the ship’s commanding officer in July 2020.
