Warship captain relieved of duty over collision that left seven sailors dead
The captain of a US warship that lost seven sailors in a collision with a commercial container ship in June will be relieved of command and more than a dozen others face punishment.
Admiral William Moran, the vice chief of naval operations, told reporters the senior leaders on the USS Fitzgerald, which was badly damaged in the collision off the coast of Japan, will be removed from duty aboard the ship.
