BRUNSWICK -- The commander of a P-3 Orion squadron at Brunswick Naval Air Station is being relieved of his command.
A statement says the Navy has lost confidence in Cmdr. Llewellyn Lewis, commanding officer of Special Projects Squadron 1 at Brunswick Naval Air Station.
The Navy says additional corrective action is expected upon completion of an investigation into the crash of his Brunswick P-3 Orion in Afghanistan.
The Navy previously acknowledged the crash landing in October at Bagram Airfield, north of Kabul, but offered few details. The crew survived but one crew member suffered a broken ankle. The plane caught fire and suffered serious fire damage.
