USS Lake Erie CO relieved of command

USS Lake Erie CO relieved of command
By Geoff Ziezulewicz
 Thursday, Oct 12
 
The Navy fired the commanding officer of the guided-missile cruiser Lake Erie Thursday, according to a brief statement from the service.

As with nearly all CO reliefs, officials declined to say why Capt. Danielle DeFant was relieved of command, saying only it was job-performance related and “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to command.”

The prior-enlisted DeFant was commissioned in 1999 and took command of the warship in July 2022, according to service records.

She is being reassigned to Naval Surface Force Pacific, and Capt. Brandon Burkett has been named interim commander of the ship.

The 30-year-old Lake Erie came out of a nearly two-year so-called “selected restricted availability” in December, and is homeported in San Diego.

Using the word 'fired' for a commissioned officer is very unusual. This means whatever it was, it was something big.
Normally, an officer will be suddenly 'transferred' to a desk somewhere stateside shore-duty, and then over a year they will quietly fade away and disappear. To get 'fired' on the spot like that hardly ever happens.

From the article…

As with nearly all CO reliefs, officials declined to say why Capt. Danielle DeFant was relieved of command, saying only it was job-performance related and “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to command.”

I see the issue already
