DeGroot took command of Rushmore in March after serving as the ship's executive officer. A California native, DeGroot was commissioned after graduating from Texas A&M in 1998.

Of course there is. As the CO of a major vessel, all she needed was a successful tour to be a lock for future promotion to Captain. Without some uniquely extenuating circumstances, walking away from her command means that she's ended her career, so she wouldn't do that lightly. It'll be interesting to read what prompted her action (if we ever know)........

Election related?

Election? I doubt it. She or her subordinates screwed the pooch somehow, and she's quitting before they can fire her. Either that or she has mental or physical problems that she knows will cause her to suffer or make mistakes. Maybe she's just freaking tired of the whole thing.
