United States Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is stepping down "effective immediately," chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said on X.
US Navy Under Secretary Hung Cao will become acting secretary, Parnell added, offering no reason for Phelan's departure, which comes amid the ongoing US naval blockade against Iran.
Phelan, who was confirmed for the role in March of last year, is the second high-ranking US military official to leave this month, after the Pentagon announced the early retirement of US Army Chief of Staff General Randy George at the start of April.
