the u.s. navy issued a statement on august 30 local time, announcing the removal of cameron astor, captain of the guided-missile destroyer uss john mccain, from his post due to "loss of confidence" in astor's command ability. astor has served in this position since october 2023.
the statement said that the uss john mccain is currently carrying out a scheduled mission in the fifth fleet's area of operations. the warship left its home port of everett, washington, in march this year and arrived in the middle east in april. the statement said that astor's dismissal will not affect the uss john mccain's mission or operational schedule.
according to us media reports, astor had previously caused controversy due to a photo. in april this year, the us navy posted a photo of astor using a rifle on social media, and netizens later pointed out that the rifle scope of astor in the photo was installed incorrectly, which was the opposite of the correct installation method. the us navy subsequently deleted the photo.
