CO of USS Theodore Roosevelt makes quite the statement.

contrast the report with the NY Times article from April.

‘There Will Be Losses’: How a Captain’s Plea Exposed a Rift in the Military (Published 2020)

The coronavirus crisis aboard the carrier Theodore Roosevelt spurred another chapter in the hollowing out of the Navy’s leadership, in particular under the Trump administration.

Side note, where did this current obsession with using the word "ask" in place of "request" come from? As in "that's a big ask".

Are you requesting a logical explanation?

That seems like a big ask these days.

Likely impossible......

Likely impossible......

Inconceivable!

The other WCs come off horribly in that report. The Cruiser CO involved is an awesome leader and has been on the golden path for his last few tours. Hope this doesn't affect him.

Go on.

Some seems to have since been addressed since my post, but perhaps that's a story after I leave the Navy.

No.

Well, nothing else was implied in the article. I did just notice the link to the investigation was in it, with excerpts as provided above.. But in most articles, the links are spam so I'm pretty sure I skipped over it! Mea Culpa, and yet it was not implied in the article in any way shape or form...

I'll bite...what did CAG do or not do?

TheTRSMOdevelopedaflawed,worst-casecrewcasualtynarrativethat the CVW-11 CAG reinforced and frequently amplified at Warfare Commander Boards, and that had an impact on the mindset of the former TR CO and TR XO. The TR SMO fostered distrust of HHQ actions, and put his leadership in an untenable situation.

So if I understand the thesis of the report...

The TR CO remains fired because in hindsight he made some sub-optimal decisions during an unprecedented pandemic?

When does Dr Fauci get fired for unnecessarily wrecking the economy?

The irony is the entirety of the DoN’s novel coronavirus policy since the outbreak has been a complete clusterfuck. All the way from bubble requirements to PCS moves. So yeah, lots of pot meet kettle going on around for everyone.

Teddy Roosevelt captain says he knowingly risked career with virus warning

In a witness statement, Capt. Brett Crozier said he wrote the now-famous email in an urgent effort to help avoid a “larger catastrophe.”

TL;DR: New information about motives and intent contained in official witness statements by CAPT Crozier and a VADM, among others.
