The US Navy has abruptly removed the commander of a warship involved in the Iran blockade, citing a “loss of confidence” — but what went wrong?

Cmdr. Caitlin Cunningham has been relieved of command of the USS Michael Murphy, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer deployed for Operation Epic Fury and US naval operations against Iran. The Navy confirmed her dismissal on September 27 but has offered no further explanation, leaving questions surrounding the sudden leadership shake-up.
