The commander of the Ingalls-Pascagoula, Miss.-built Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Stout (DDG 55) was fired on June 2 for a "loss of confidence," according to a June 5 statement from the Navy.
Commander Jeffrey L. Applebaugh was fired by Capt. Blair Guy, Commodore of the Norfolk-based Destroyer Squadron 28, as commander of the USS Stout for “loss of confidence in his ability to command.”
Applebaugh took command of the ship in October 2022. He has been reassigned to the staff of the commander of Naval Forces Atlantic, according to the Navy statement.
Applebaugh is the latest of several Navy commanders to be fired in 2023. (Task & Purpose 06/05/23)
