\nUSS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Vicksburg<\/p>\n
No surprise here. Big Navy was caught flat-footed, made to look slow and inefficient. Which is exactly what it is. So Capt. Crozier, trying to look out for his Sailors had to go. His real crime- an inability to satisfactorily keep the COVID-19 outbreak on his ship under wraps until Higher could remove their opposing digit from their nether regions, and come up with a plan to CYA. That this would take time and potentially needlessly cost lives wasn’t in the calculus. <\/p>\n

By: Mary Margaret Olohan<\/strong><\/p>\n The U.S. Navy fired the captain of a nuclear aircraft who begged Navy officials for help for over 100 sailors on his ship who have coronavirus.<\/p>\n Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved of his duties after writing a letter begging officials to send help to the aircraft carrier, the Theodore Roosevelt, so his men would not die. Crozier\u2019s letter was obtained exclusively by the Chronicle and confirmed by a senior officer on board the aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n \u201cToday at my direction the commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Captain Brett Crozier, was relieved of command by carrier strike group commander Rear Admiral Stewart Baker,\u201d acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said Thursday during a Pentagon press briefing, according to CNN.<\/p>\n Modly said the captain was not removed from his position based on any evidence that Crozier shared the memo with the press. Crozier was removed from his duties for allowing \u201cthe complexity of his challenge with the COVID breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed the most at the time,\u201d the acting secretary of the Navy said.<\/p>\n \u201cI have no information nor am I trying to suggest that he leaked the information. It was published in the San Francisco Chronicle. It all came as a big surprise to all of us that it was in the paper and that\u2019s the first time I had seen it,\u201d Modly added, according to CNN. \u201cWhat I will say, he sent it out pretty broadly and in sending it out broadly he did not take care to ensure that it couldn\u2019t be leaked and that\u2019s part of his responsibility in my opinion.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Another good man dies on the alter of political expedience.
