YOKOSUKA, Japan – The commanding officer, the executive officer and the command master chief of U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Center (SRF-JRMC) were relieved June 3, 2026, due to a loss of confidence in their ability to command. Rear Adm. Dan Lannamann, commander of Navy Regional Maintenance Center (CNRMC), relieved Capt. Wendel Penetrante, Capt. Edwin Catubig and Master Chief Petty Officer Thomas Howell of duties as SRF-JRMC commanding officer, executive officer and command master chief, respectively. Capt. John Bauer, Supervisor of Salvage and Diving, has temporarily assumed the duties of SRF-JRMC commanding officer. Cmdr. David Reinhardt, waterfront operations officer, has temporarily assumed the duties of SRF-JRMC executive officer. Master Chief Petty Officer David Marcus, CNRMC command master chief, has temporarily assumed the duties of SRF-JRMC command master chief. There is no impact to the command’s mission as a result of these reliefs. SRF-JRMC is located in Yokosuka, Japan, and provides intermediate-level and depot-level repair for Navy ships and U.S. 7th Fleet. -
