The U.S. Navy has relieved the leaders aboard the USS Connecticut, a nuclear submarine that crashed into an “uncharted seamount” last month, of their command.

A spokesperson for the 7th Fleet told the Washington Examiner on Thursday that Vice Adm. Karl Thomas, commander of the fleet, relieved Cmdr. Cameron Aljilani as commanding officer, Lt. Cmdr. Patrick Cashin as executive officer, and Master Chief Sonar Technician Cory Rodgers as chief of the boat.
