The Navy fired the commanding officer of the destroyer John S. McCain Friday in the middle of the warship’s Middle East deployment.

The service’s statement announcing the firing did not note a reason for Cmdr. Cameron Yaste’s relief, stating only that it occurred “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer.”

Yaste had been in command of the ship since October.

Capt. Allison Christy, deputy commodore of Destroyer Squadron 21, has temporarily assumed command of the warship.

The Everett, Washington-based McCain arrived in the Middle East in April as part of a scheduled deployment.

Yaste has been temporarily reassigned to Naval Surface Group Northwest.



Cmdr. Cameron Yaste was featured by the U.S. Navy’s official Instagram account in a photo of him firing an M-4 from the USS John S. McCain in April, 2024. The optical sight on the rifle is installed backwards, a mistake noted widely on social media and which prompted the Navy to remove the photo.

He was just demonstrating his excellent aim to be able to hit something that far away.

Just making it look much further away like me when I was a kid and flipped the binoculars around.

Probably this. It's ridiculous that we allow women in the military.

The song from South Pacific sang "there is nothing like a dame" but that was a long time ago.

And knew his dumbarse was so inept at basic firearm stuff he wouldn’t catch on. Makes you wonder how this ship was run day to day.

Sure, all women or all men. But mixing genders in combat roles is terrible. Men and women don't work well together no matter what the feminist try to tell you.

It's actually a very special optic: the Vince Foster Signature Edition.

Does anyone else think it's a disgrace that we have a ship named John McCain?
