German navy captain relieved of command

None

Germany's defense minister says the commander of a troubled navy training ship has been relieved of his duties and the vessel ordered to return to port amid questions surrounding the death of a sailor on board late last year.

 

Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg said the Gorch Fock would remain in port pending the results of an investigation into the death of the 25-year-old sailor who plunged from the ship's rigging in November. (AP)
