very strange, in any case, the captain of this ship will not have his post much longer.

The Fox reporter on board the Nassau noted that the sailor that's currently missing had wanted to see a chaplain in the past few days.

This is very very weird.
Most sailors lost are blown off the deck of a carrier.
Either they let discipline and ordinary caution go to hell so close to home or they have a psycho on board getting even with people.

He probably just fell asleep on the crapper. Don't laugh it happened on my ship and we were looking for the guy for over 2 hours.

Could the death of one sailor and the resulting media attention have pushed a suicidal sailor over the edge? After a famous person commits suicide, there is usually a rash of copycat suicides. Maybe this had a similar trigger effect. Of course, this is just speculation.

I'm not familiar with Navy rules/regulations but is alcohol allowed on the ship? That's the first thing that came to mind.
