Cmdr. Joseph R. Darlak, who has commanded the San Diego-based frigate since July 27, was relieved of command Friday by Capt. John L. Schultz “due to a loss of confidence after displaying poor leadership and failure to ensure the conduct of his wardroom officers” while visiting the Russian port of Vladivostok, said Cmdr. Tamsen Reese, a Naval Surface Force-Pacific spokeswoman in Coronado, Calif.
Schultz, who commands Destroyer Squadron 15, also fired the ship’s executive officer, Cmdr. Ivan Jimenez, and he also detached the ship’s operations officer and chief engineer “for personal conduct and use of alcohol,” Reese said.
