The guy that put our national security at risk by informing the world that we had a crippled war ship.
What would happen during a war when his ship was ordered to take a certain action and he disagreed with it.

We now know that assumption was false. Modly (or another one of his superior officers) “informed the world”.
There’s a good chance that the reinstatement came via the Commander-in-Chief.
From April 6th
“President Trump says he might intervene in fired Navy captain’s case”
“The commander in chief said Monday that he will be calling the defense secretary to learn more about a Navy commanding officer’s sudden relief, because he doesn’t want an otherwise outstanding captain’s life destroyed by one mistake.
President Donald Trump told reporters that he reviewed Capt. Brett Crozier’s personnel records after acting Navy secretary Thomas Modly removed him as commanding officer of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt. Crozier sent a letter outside classified channels requesting help as coronavirus cases spread on his ship, which acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said might have broken military law.”

The irony is - the ship wasn’t even crippled or close to being so. out of 4800 sailors aboard a crowded ship, a total of 660 tested positive for coronavirus, and 60% of those had no symptoms. A total of 5 went to sickbay/hospital - and one died.
Crozier cried wolf, and somebody (himself?) then leaked it to the press.
