The Navy captain, who was removed from his command of a coronavirus-stricken aircraft carrier, has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Two Naval Academy classmates of Capt. Brett Crozier confirmed the diagnosis to the New York Times. Crozier started showing symptoms before his ouster on Thursday, the classmates said. It’s unclear when he was tested for the virus, and he’s being quarantined at Naval Base Guam.

He cared about his men and they about him which is why the Navy Brass hate him.
I guess that’s why they call it The Blues!
There’s more to the story than we’re allowed to know right now. He knew what he was doing when he Cc’d all those people in an unclassified email. Navy brass, more so than the other branches, will happily ignore the health and safety of the enlisted men so long as they can claim their mission is continuing, and there are a lot of military officers in all branches who only care about making their direct superior officer happy so they get good marks on their officer’s evaluation.
If some admirals above him quietly and suddenly retire, he probably didn’t make a mistake, but decided to take care of his crew knowing it would come at the cost of his command. Usually though, the Brass does it’s best to sweep whatever happened so far under the rug that nobody will ever find out.
“He cared about his men and they about him which is why the Navy Brass hate him.”
He broke important rules and paid the price.

Test the cabin boy.
Caring for one's men is an admirable quality, but it has to be done in the context of the mission.
Ok i will take the bait. Why do we care more about people including non americans on non us cruise ships than American sailors with the virus? Over 100 sick people on that Navy ship.
How can there be 6 feet of social distancing on an aircraft carrier? The sailors live in extremely close quarters, such as bunks that are 3 in a stack. I hope that they all recover just fine.
100 sailors sick? or 100 sailors testing positive?
And with most that test positive never actually developing any symptoms, and of those that do, most will only develop symptoms similar to the usual flu.
And since when do USN ships not have medical evacuation protocols in place?
And should our entire military be rendered non-op during every flu season?
Do people allow themselves to be bent over a bench and punked bloody every time someone plays on their heart-string?
Semper Fi.
If you’ve ever been on a carrier you would realize how huge they are. Plenty of room to quarantine anyone with symptoms. At least from my perspective but then again I served on a diesel sub during the cold war. Anything larger would be like a cruise ship to me.
Dwell on the queer aspect much ?
DA NANG, Vietnam -
“Da Nang Me, Da Nang Me, why don’t they get a rope and hang me!”
“He screwed up yes”
I believe I touched on that aspect
Was at Parris Island and Camp Geiger about 4 years ago to see one of my boys graduate.
The disrespect I saw around there was stunning, and the attitudes have changed.
Females twirking, others never speaking in English, hands in pockets, walking on grass. Oh I nearly forgot but I saw a couple who never removed their covers in the MCX.
Times have truly changed
Thank you for your service. A diesel sub certainly has super tight quarters.
I am unsure that women in the military has been a good thing.
Hell, after 100 years of suffrage I am not sure women voting is a good thing.
Is he an Obama promotion?
He did the right thing and the wrong thing at the same time
I hope he doesn’t present symptoms, ever...
