Executive Officer Relieved of Duty
On Friday, 17 September 2010, Commander Charles Mansfield was relieved of his duty for misconduct by Captain Jeffrey Wolstenholme, commander of Destroyer Squadron 22. Relief of Mansfield came after investigation into allegations that Mansfield struck a subordinate officer while the ship was underway, participating in a composite training unit exercise on 9 July. Mansfield was taken for non-judicial punishment proceedings on charges of assault and conduct unbecoming an officer. He was found guilty of both charges, said Lieutenant Commander Bill Urban, a spokesman with Naval Surface Force Atlantic. The incident took place in Mahan's combat direction center in front of several other sailors, Urban said. He declined to provide further details.

“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The matter of consulting experienced workers, of keeping all the workers informed of changes in production and wage methods, and how the changes are arrived at, seems to me the most important duty in the whole field of management.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
