Navy fires captain who sought help for virus-stricken ship

I am curious what the CMC and XO thought about all of this. I doubt we will ever know, but I also doubt he did not discuss this with, at least, the CMC to get a sense of the morale and scuttle butt amongst the crew.

No help eh? Iā€™d like to see the criteria for assessing these entities. These GWBā€™s seem to be pretty much BDTā€™s and like to use initials indiscriminately without any adequate foundation.

Ask a hundred people, youā€™ll get a hundred answers. Iā€™ll edit my post to replace ā€˜MSM outletā€™ with just plain ā€˜media outlet without considering the bias of that outletā€™.

I didnā€™t respond to your post as I got your point and assumed you got mine, but apparently there are others who need ā€˜helpā€™ with these concepts.

NY Times Navy Digest just ran this:

The Navy is looking into whether it can reinstate Capt. Brett E. Crozier, who was removed from command of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt after he pleaded for more help fighting a novel coronavirus outbreak aboard his ship, Defense Department officials said on Wednesday. Adm. Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval operations, has indicated that he may reinstate Crozier, who is viewed as a hero by his crew for putting their lives above his career, officials said. (NYT)

Iā€™d like to see this but we all know the only way it is happening is if Donnie can get a photo op of him reinstating Captain Crozier where he can pontificate on how he always thought it was a mistake what happened to him. First things first though. Got to get those signatures on the relief checks so everyone knows it was him that personally paid them.

Thatā€™s crazy. Itā€™ll take him forever to sign all those checks :rofl:

A check signed by a guy who went bankrupt six times. Iā€™ll take mine in three dollar bills!

Senior, concur admiral should be made to hit the rode as well as a few more, however he made himself look stupid, not Captain Croizer. By the way the Roosevelt Battle Group Commander Admiral ā€œStudaā€ Baker has been really, really quite since this firestorm erupted.

Chief, you are more correct. The Admiral was wearing no clothes and NOBODY should have to see that.

Behind a paywall but;

I really donā€™t think it matters. The latest I got from ā€œinsideā€, it started in the ā€œengine roomā€. Specifically Main Propulsion.
