 Navy fires USS Somerset commanding officer
By Geoff Ziezulewicz

As with all relief announcements, the Navy provided no specifics reasons for the relief of Capt. Michel Brandt, citing only a “loss of confidence in her ability to lead the crew.”


Capt. Tate Robinson has been named the ship’s interim CO, and Brandt will be administratively assigned to Naval Surface Force Pacific, according to the sea service.

“Navy commanding officers are held to high standards of personal and professional conduct,” the Navy said in a statement announcing Brandt’s relief. “They are expected to uphold the highest standards of responsibility, reliability and leadership, and the Navy holds them accountable when they fall short of those standards.”

Brandt took command of the ship in July 2023.

Her selection as CO would seem to have been a DEI type of promotion.

Wow, hardly anyone gets fired anymore ... they are usually given a chance to retire, resign, take another position, or get promoted.

She must have been really terrible to be fired after such a short tenure.

The fact their media source calls it a "firing" is pretty  amazing, and probably has some other deep troubling reasons.  Like maybe incompetence?

99.99% moves are reassignment or promotion.  Firing?  I'd say with 99% certainty, she probably deserved it.
