US COAST GUARD CANS CUTTER CAPTAIN
September 2, 2022 • Carl Prine
 
On Aug. 26, 2022, the commander of the US Coast Guard Atlantic Area temporarily relieved Capt. Marc Brandt as the commanding officer of the cutter James, pending the outcome of an ongoing probe into a mishap on board the Legend-class vessel. Composite by Coffee or Die Magazine.

The US Coast Guard has relieved the commanding officer of the cutter James.

On Aug. 26, the commander of the sea service’s Atlantic Area, Vice Adm. Kevin Lunday, temporarily removed Capt. Marc Brandt from his duties and reassigned him to the three-star’s headquarters in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Brandt, 45, did not respond to Coffee or Die Magazine‘s messages seeking comment.

According to a prepared statement released a week after his relief, Brandt’s downfall is tied to an unspecified mishap on board the vessel that injured no one. The incident remains under investigation, but it triggered Lunday’s loss of confidence in Brandt’s ability to command the ship.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

That or another navigation issue or maybe maintenance?

"Vice Adm. Kevin Lunday, commander of Coast Guard Atlantic Area, effected the relief due to a loss of confidence," the release noted.

Capt. John Driscoll was appointed to assume temporary command of the cutter “pending the results of an investigation into the mishap,” while Brandt has been “temporarily assigned” to Coast Guard Atlantic Area.

Who do they think they are kidding? If the Admiral wants that officer canned,he is canned. After all,who is going to tell the Admiral in command that he can't can someone for any reason he wants,or even no reason at all?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
