US Navy fires commander at vital F-35 facility
The US Navy has fired the commanding officer of Fleet Readiness Center East in North Carolina due to a “loss of confidence in his ability to command.” The facility is responsible for overhauling the Navy’s variant of the next-generation F-35 fighter jet – which, although it is already the most expensive military project in history, has been plagued with flaws and requires upgrades to see out its lifespan.
