The Navy has relieved 12 commanding officers so far in 2024 -- including three firings that have not previously been made public, according to information provided to Military.com by the service.

In addition to the nine publicly announced firings, Capt. Alex Dutko, manager of the Direct and Time Sensitive Strike program; Capt. Michael Meno, commander of Naval Construction Group 1; and Capt. David Wilson, commander of Naval Support Activity South Potomac, were also relieved of their commands in the past six months, a Navy spokesman said.
 
When asked about the three firings and why they were not made public, the Navy spokesman said that the sea service does not publicly announce reliefs that are not the result a loss of the trust and confidence in the officers' ability to command.

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

Nobody gets "fired" anymore - F up, move up; retirement; resignation; etc.

If people are really being "fired", there have to be really egregious things going on to make the firings worth the potential lawsuits and blowback.  Or, this could be an old fashioned purge, ala Stalin.
