The Navy relieved Capt. Geoffry Patterson, commander of the USS Georgia sub’s blue crew, due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command.
The official statement did not provide specific reasons for his removal, but it emphasized the Navy’s expectations of commanders.
Patterson was arrested on Jan. 9 on charges including driving under the influence and improper lane change.
