It took 2 people to compose this poorly written piece!? Awful headline, too.

Prayers for the survivors of the dead sailors.

[zipper]

The Navy did not provide a cause of death for any of the three

No surprise there, although it won’t matter since the families have no recourse.

[Leep]

Date rape type drugs?

[dynachrome]

I’m thinking that’s a supply clerk.

[Steve_Seattle]

"there is no initial indication to suggest there is a correlation between these tragic events"

That would seem to rule out drugs and homicide, unless they had three unrelated homicides within a few days, which seems highly unlikely. So what does that leave? Three unrelated suicides? Vaccine injuries? Some unknown pathogen? A radiation leak?

“The Navy did not provide a cause of death for any of the three”

3 more vaxx deaths.

[DariusBane]

I read the navy discussion of this. They say it’s a mid life overhaul put behind schedule due to covid labor shortages.

[Cuttnhorse]

I’m going to look it up.

Cuttnhorse, QM2, 1968

[Joe 6-pack]

That was my first thought too...maybe a bad batch came into the area.

I hate to speculate, particularly when doing so makes implications about the character of the deceased, but will admit that was the first thought that occurred to me.

[pfflier]

They’re not asking the obvious question.

What's that?

Both of the named deceased had slavic first names?

The named victims were one male and one female?

Mixed gender crews are on an aircraft carrier love boat?

Someone knew something they shouldn't know?

They all had their covid vaxs?

“The Navy did not provide a cause of death for any of the three, but the ship did bring on board a Special Psychiatric Rapid Intervention Team. These teams are intended to provide short-term mental health support after a traumatic event, such as a loss of life.”

We are so screwed.

[Huskrrrr]

And Ducky.

[alternatives?]

“May as well melt it down for boat anchors”

Come on man. They have not had a major fire like the Bonhomme Richard.

[ameribbean expat]

We FOUGHT World War 2 in less time.

[Cuttnhorse]

From Navy website:

Retail services specialist ( RS) is a rating in the United States Navy. RSes are responsible for managing and operating all shipboard retail and service activities, including the ship's store, vending machines, coffee kiosks (on aircraft carriers), barber shops and laundry operations. They play a large role in maintaining the morale aboard a ship.

As you said, a clerk.

[EEGator]

Better bring Palmer as well for 3...

[Seruzawa]

Far more people regularly die in any non-military community of that size.

[Seruzawa]

They used to be called “Ship’s Servicemen”. A necessary function on any ship.

[stockpirate]

Gee I wonder if the Covid shot had anything to due with it.

FTA: “Special Psychiatric Rapid Intervention Team. These teams are intended to provide short-term mental health support after a traumatic event, such as a loss of life.”

Is this a joke? What the f**k are they going to do if they are in combat??? Call time-out so that the SPRINT team can come give counseling?
