The Royal Canadian Navy says it has relieved the commanding officer of a Pacific Fleet warship.
In a statement Thursday night, the Navy said it had lost confidence in the judgment of Lt. Com. David Dallin of HMCS Regina.
The Navy says it took action after an incident that recently occurred on another ship during a naval exercise.
Details of what happened have not been released.
Commodore David Mazur, commander of the Canadian Pacific Fleet, said in the release that the incident remains under investigation but involved “inappropriate conduct.”
The Navy says Cmdr. Megan Coates has now taken command of HMCS Regina, a Halifax-class frigate based at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, BC
“The RCN expects all its members to exercise institutionally appropriate judgment at all times, particularly when in clear leadership or command roles,” the navy said in a statement.
The Navy says Dahlin will serve in other roles with Marine Forces Pacific at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt until the investigation is complete.
