The Navy says it has relieved a Pearl Harbor-based submarine commander of his command.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet Submarine Force said in a news release this afternoon that Cmdr. Doug Sampson was removed as the commander of the USS La Jolla.
The Navy says Capt. Stanley Robertson, the commodore of Submarine Squadron One, acted because Sampson allegedly failed to "meet the high Navy standards necessary to remain in command."
It didn't release further details.
The Navy says administrative action has been taken or is being considered for other crew members of the vessel.
The La Jolla is currently undergoing maintenance at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.
