Eisenhower XO Transferred Pending Probe

The executive officer of USS Dwight D. Eisenhower has been temporarily reassigned amid an ongoing investigation, a Naval Air Force Atlantic spokesman said Thursday.

Capt. Robert Gamberg was reassigned on May 24, said Cmdr. Phil Rosi, AIRLANT spokesman. The decision was made by Capt. Marcus Hitchcock, commanding officer of the carrier.

Gamberg is with the AIRLANT staff for now. Rosi said the investigation was not related to safety, ship operations or work performance.

The Navy Times first reported the news about Gamberg.

The Eisenhower is currently undergoing maintenance at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth.

The commanding officer there was removed from his position last month pending a formal investigation by the Naval Inspector General into "command environment" issues, the Navy reported.
