SAN DIEGO — The commander of Naval Submarine Training Facility San Diego was fired after less than a year on the job, the Navy announced Friday.
Cmdr. Jared Severson was relieved of command Thursday based on the findings of a command investigation, the Navy said in a news release. According to the release, Capt. Steve Antcliff, the commanding officer of the Connecticut-based Submarine Learning Center, fired Severson for a "loss of trust and confidence in his ability to command" — the military's boilerplate explanation for such reliefs.
Cmdr. Brian Wierzbicki, a spokesperson for Naval Education and Training Command, said it would be "inappropriate" to disclose further details about Severson's firing.
