The captain of the seagoing buoy tender Willow has been temporarily relieved of his command after allegations that he was having “an inappropriate relationship” with a subordinate, the Coast Guard announced Tuesday.
Cmdr. Jeffrey Dow, skipper of the 225-foot Newport, R.I.-based ship, was relieved Friday by Rear Adm. Timothy Sullivan, commander of the Coast Guard’s 1st District. The Willow’s executive officer, Lt. Mark Crysler, has temporarily taken over command of the cutter.
Coast Guard officials could not say whether the ship was at sea or in port when Dow was relieved.
“We take these types of allegations very seriously, and we will investigate this case fully,” Sullivan said in a statement.
