OTTAWA — A commander of a patrol frigate in the Royal Canadian Navy has been relieved of his duty mid-deployment due to what the navy calls a “loss of confidence.”

A statement from the navy says the reasons for removing Cmdr. Adriano Lozer from command of the HMCS Ottawa “do not concern any form of misconduct.”

The navy says the move was necessary “to ensure effective leadership” of the frigate with a crew of approximately 240 members as it continues its deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.
