The Navy has relieved the commanding officer of the USS Truman -- the aircraft carrier that had a collision with a merchant ship outside the Suez Canal last week.

Capt. Dave Snowden was relieved Thursday for "loss of confidence in his ability to command" by Rear Adm. Sean Bailey, the commander of Carrier Strike Group 8, a Navy statement announced Thursday

Snowden's replacement will be Capt. Chris "Chowdah" Hill, the commander of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower who rose to fame online last year while he commanded his aircraft carrier in the Middle East amid Houthi attacks.

A Navy official told Military.com that Snowden is the only member of the Truman's crew to be relieved from their job at this time, but they said the investigation into the collision is still ongoing.
