The action came following the submission of the report to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the chief of naval operations. The Pentagon, in announcing that the three officers had been re lieved, refused to confirm Friday that the military inquiry had recommended courts-martial. But Defense Department sour ces, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the investigative report assessing the May 17 attack on the ship had recommended courts-martial for all three officers. The order affects Capt. Glenn R. Brlndel, the Stark’s commanding officer; Lt. Cmdr. Raymond J. Gajan, the executive officer, or second-in-command, and Lt. Basil E. Moncrief Jr., the tactical action officer. The tactical action officer is responsible for directing the use of the ship's weaponry. In its statement, the Pentagon said the general in charge of the U.S. Central Command "has re quested that these officers be detached (from duty) based on his lack of confidence in their performance."
