The commander of the guided missile destroyer James E. Williams has been relieved of duty while an investigation into the command climate is completed, according to the Navy.
Capt. Anthony L. Simmons relieved Cmdr. Curtis B. Calloway at sea Tuesday, according to a news release from U.S. Fleet Forces Command. Calloway; Cmdr. Ed Handley, the former executive officer; and Command Master Chief Travis Biswell have all been assigned to the staff at Naval Surface Force Atlantic pending the investigation.
The destroyer left Norfolk on May 30 for an eight-month deployment.
