Pete Hegseth fires U.S. Navy Secretary John Phelan – https://www.axios.com/2026/04/22/navy-secretary-john-phelan-hung-cao

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired Navy Secretary John Phelan. The Pentagon framed it Wednesday as an immediate departure.

Why it matters: The ouster of the Navy’s top civilian caught many off-guard and adds to the pile of military officials who have either abruptly exited or been pushed out of their posts under Trump 2.0.

“Phelan didn’t understand he wasn’t the boss. His job is to follow orders given, not follow the orders he thinks should be given,” a person familiar with the situation told Axios.

The same person said Phelan and Hegseth did not “get along.””
