More leaders are being removed from their posts as the Navy continues to investigate the cause of two deadly ship collisions in the Pacific this summer that resulted in the deaths of 17 sailors.
Vice Adm. Phil Sawyer, commander of U.S. Seventh Fleet, on Monday relieved two senior officers: Rear Adm. Charles Williams, the commander of Task Force 70, and Capt. Jeffrey Bennett, commander of Destroyer Squadron 15. The officers were relieved due to a loss of confidence in their command, according to a brief announcement from U.S. 7th Fleet.
