Agree with all your points. It was the USS Roosevelt (CVN-71) nuclear aircraft carrier and point of the spear of Carrier Strike Group 12. It port visited (arranged by some idiots at the State Dept/and Navy) at Da Nang.On 5 March 2020, Theodore Roosevelt, along with the cruiser USS Bunker Hill, arrived at Da Nang, Vietnam, for a five-day port visit commemorating the 25th anniversary of United States–Vietnam relations.
One cannot imagine how they could have given shore leave to both ships— in DaNang. Filled with chi-com agents and their helpers to infect the crew with Covid. But, it happened, and Roosevelt docked for weeks at Guam. Entire Strike Group Chinee tested and out of action. And the Captain whined to San Fran media and was rightfully fired by Trump.
Da Nang became a virtually shut down city during the China Flu. No Viets seen on the streets, businesses that were open had employees wearing what looked like space suits. The virus was already present when this huge US Navy surface group pulled in. The locals must have been going crazy. The DoS people responsible were either fools or just arrogantly unconcerned, which is how State types come across most of the time.
