He is an idiot. Glad he was fired. What he did was a security issue. You don't let on the countries that one of our carriers has health issues with it's crew. So, so dumb.
@saltysails It was on the nightly news long before he wrote the letter.

I heard a distinguished citizen this morning say he should be commended.

@Kachina624: From letter written by Captain Crozier dated MARCH 30, 2020:

DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
uss THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN 
UNIT Ioozso Box 1
FPO AP 96632

 

30 Mar 20
Subj: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO PANDEMIC

BLUF: If required the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT would embark all assigned Sailors, set
sail, and be ready to ?ght and beat any adversary that dares challenge the US or our allies. The
virus would certainly have an impact, but in combat we are willing to take certain risks that are
not acceptable in peacetime. However, we are not at war, and therefore cannot allow a single
Sailor to perish as a result of this pandemic unnecessarily. Decisive action is required now in
order to comply with CDC and NAVADMIN 083/20 guidance and prevent tragic outcomes.
