The question is, is it the right chill, going in the right direction?
One hopes there is rather more to the story than what is blandly stated in the article. Because the bare facts as stated don't rise to a relief in my eyes.
Why is it important? Because if it was rather more energetic an event than you can glean from the article, or is the culminating event of a series of issues, the relief is supportable.
If it is just as it is stated, that suggests rather that the chain of command, at least on Shoup, is running scared in the current environment, which is also not healthy - and sends a bad message to the enlisted leadership of the fleet - their reaction to which will potentially be a whirlwind reaped by the officer corps.
So, regardless of where the pendulum is swinging in this particular case, more detail would be useful. What's provided just leaves far more questions for me (and especially were I a sailor) than it answers.
