Well, SECDEF has only nominated them, which means now they need to be appointed/approved, which will take a little bit more time. By the time the new DANT is named and reports to Annapolis for turnover, it probably won't be until the end of next semester.
CO tours are normally 18 months in the Fleet -- so by having a DANT for about the same time, this would be considered "normal." Plus, this will happen in the Fleet quite often -- either you get a new CO/XO and things dramatically change OR you PCS to another command and that CO/XO is totally different. It is just another reason why you have to be adaptable in the military.
