The Navy is expected to announce it has relieved the captain who sounded the alarm about an outbreak of COVID-19 aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, according to two U.S. officials.

Capt. Brett Crozier, who commands the Roosevelt, an aircraft carrier with a crew of nearly 5,000, will be relieved of his command, but keep his rank and remain in the Navy.

Crozier raised the alarm earlier this week that sailors on the ship need to be quarantined to stop the spread of the virus. His plea for assistance quickly made headlines.

Crozier sent a letter to the Navy on Monday begging for help addressing the coronavirus outbreak aboard his ship, which was forced to dock in Guam last week. The ship leadership began testing everyone on board. By Wednesday, there were 93 positive test results and more than 1,000 people had departed the ship into isolation on Guam. In total, 2,700 people are expected to disembark the ship this week, with a smaller crew remaining to maintain the ship.

The move is expected to be announced in a briefing by Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly Thursday evening. The official reason for Crozier's relief of duty is a loss of trust and confidence, according to the officials who spoke to NBC News.

If this Captain made it public through the media without the Navy's knowledge, this is justified. Completely. If this is the result of a leak or something, then different actions would still have been warranted.

He should be court marshaled and then sent to the brig. Leaking out this kind of info to our enemies is a serious breach of security.

The Obama Navy in a Nutshell, it’s going to take years to undo the damage.

FYI there is no CSA navy

Yeah, while you're thinking, think about how somehow, someway, the combat readiness of an American AIRCRAFT CARRIER, equipped with the most sophisticated encrypted communication technology on the planet, was broadcast in the open and the loyal news media picked it up and let everyone on the planet know about it. Doesn't matter if he did it or if it was some tranny pissed off at the navy because it couldn't stand watch in that little black dress ala bradley manning, the captain is ultimately responsible for that kind of stuff

[AProudLefty]

Hmm. Seems there's more to the story as those two posters suggested.

and you served when in the military?

[Centerleftfl]

Of course. I mentioned he was TOAST when I put, I believe, the first article up a few days ago. He broke chain of command TO SAVE HIS SAILORS. Trump can't have that.

But if he did/would have that, we know what they would be saying

Business as usual for the Trump administration.

Trying to save the lives of the people on his ship?

You’re a sad fucking idiot. But we knew that.

Of course Shrillary did far worse than that, she operated an unsecured email server wide open to hacking but received no sanction whatsoever.

This is just wrong.

Ask Bud about military discipline Doris! I don't mean twenty lashes from Ms. Whiplash either.
