| [NY Post] The hammer falls The commanding officer of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that slammed into a ship near Egypt last week was yanked from the position "due to a loss of confidence in his ability," the Navy said Thursday. Capt. Dave Snowden was "relieved" of his job at the helm of the USS Harry S. Truman and temporarily reassigned following the wild crash in the Mediterranean Sea on Feb. 12, according to the military branch. "The U.S. Navy holds commanding officers to the highest standard and takes action to hold them accountable when those standards are not met," the Navy said in a statement. Snowden was replaced by Capt. Christopher Hill, and temporarily assigned to Naval Air Forces Atlantic. No injuries were reported during the crash, which unfolded near Port Said at 11:46 p.m. Related: USS Harry S.
