Navy fires CO of Fleet Readiness Centers
The commanding officer of Fleet Readiness Centers was relieved of duty Monday, Navy officials said.
Vice Adm. Dean Peters, commander of Naval Air Systems, relieved Rear Adm. Trent Demoss “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command,” according to Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, the Navy’s chief spokesman.
“The Navy Inspector General is investigating this matter, and we will not comment on an ongoing investigation,” Brown said.
No additional information was immediately provided. However, USNI News is reporting that Demoss’ ouster came after a preliminary review into a sexual harassment allegation against him.
