John Phelan, the United States Secretary of the Navy, was suddenly removed from his position effective immediately, according to Pentagon announcements. NBC News sources indicated that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin dismissed Phelan due to disputes over naval shipbuilding programs. The Pentagon has not provided detailed explanations for the abrupt departure, which represents an unusual mid-term removal of a senior defense official. The Navy Secretary oversees both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, making it one of the most important positions in American defense leadership.
