What are the odds of having the CO and XO of the same ship having the same last name? No matter, their careers are effectively over.

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan -- The Navy has relieved two USS John S. McCain senior officers in connection with a "preventable" deadly collision involving the destroyer and a civilian merchant vessel near Singapore.

Seventh Fleet Commander Vice Adm. Phil Sawyer relieved the McCain's commanding officer, Cmdr. Alfredo Sanchez, and executive officer, Cmdr. Jessie Sanchez, due to a loss of confidence in their ability to lead, said a Navy statement issued Wednesday.
