US Navy fires destroyer USS Mason commander mid-training exercise, names replacement
The US Navy has removed Captain Chavius G. Lewis from command of the USS Mason, citing a \"loss of confidence in ability to command.\" This decision, made by Rear Adm. Alexis T. Walker, occurred as the guided-missile destroyer prepares for deployment. Lewis, who led the ship since November 2024, has been reassigned.
