A US Navy combat ship has delayed its deployment to South America due to a COVID-19 outbreak among the crew, officials said Friday.

The USS Milwaukee, which deployed from Mayport, Fla. on Dec. 15 will remain in port at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where it had stopped for a scheduled visit.

You have got to be kidding me.

Thank God we’re not in a freakin’ war.

[hardspunned]

Can you see Nimitz calling off Tarawa and telling the Marines, some of our guys have the sniffles, we’re heading back home.

[jacknhoo]

What are they worried about, they’re all vaccinated and the vaccines save lives and their chances of becoming seriously ill or dying are virtually ZERO…according to the CDC, FDA, Fauci, Trump and DeSantis.

Do you believe them or not?

[Flick Lives]

It wasn’t disclosed how many cases were detected. The Navy said “a portion” of those who tested positive have mild symptoms.

The infected are in isolation, the Navy said.

The ship’s crew is “100 percent” vaccinated, the Navy said.

Safe and effective.

Actually, we are.

I would not wish any length of time to my worst enemy in GTMO.

It is THE most humid and hot place on the planet in the Summer months. When there is no breeze the stillness of the humid air is stifling and makes it very difficult to breathe!

Wwaaaah! We have a cold! Tell the Japs and NAZIs to wait!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What a great opportunity for those sailors to get in some refresher course study on Woke and Tranny Studies as well the Evils of White Nationalism.

Covid, Flu or Common Cold!

[SaveFerris]

Couldn't they just put a disposable mask on the entire ship?

This COVID gaslighting is beyond ridiculous.

[dljordan]

“Actually, we are.”

You’re right.

[KC_Conspirator]

Yes, 100% vaxxed to be on ship.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Everyone on the ship has been exposed, just work through it on the cruise.

“will remain in port at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, where it had stopped for a scheduled visit.”

Ironic.

"A US Navy combat ship..."

Um, it's a LCS - NOT a combat ship. Maybe slightly more robust than a Coast Guard Cutter.

Maybe.

A great uncle of mine helped design them. He was a mathematician and aero engineer.

[Charles Martel]

Yep, crew size varies - max 75 on board.

[Psalm 73]

I'm sure your uncle was a very smart man, but those aren't combat ships - I don't care what they call 'em.

Like saying ANTIFA are anti-fascists because that's in their name.

[jjotto]

You have a point!
