The US Navy replaced the master of an aircraft carrier that collided with a Turkish bulker in the Suez Canal earlier this month.
Captain Dave Snowden was removed “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command” the USS Harry S Truman, according to USNI News, which cited a Congressional notification confirmed by a US Navy official.
Snowden, who is a career fighter pilot and a 1996 graduate of the US Naval Academy, was replaced with Captain Christopher “Chowdah” Hill as interim commander.
