FINALLY some FAST ACTION!!! He DESERVED to be Court Martialed!
We are going to leak a letter about the status of a nuclear carrier with two nuclear reactors on board, probable nuclear weapons and act like an idiot while in the open ocean out of pure panic.
What in the hell was the navy supposed to do with that ship? There was nothing there to tie up to so they had to push her on to an American port, and that was Guam.
As the commander of the ship he had a lot of responsibility to his crew but he also had responsibility to secure some damn dangerous assets as well.
Keep you eye on the mission and get it done.
The U.S. Navy today is not at all like yesterdays. Sad.
You can find the 4 page letter here.
Discussing removing all sailers from the ship (minus 10% for nuclear operation, cleaning etc) was very irresponsible indeed.

The SECNAV should have been fired for his inaction in the face of an infected ship but that wasn't going to happen in this era. Much better to punish a conscientious Captain than take the hit for moving slowly.
The Captain was a hero.
By accident or on purpose, Pandemic World War One has already started. Even if we don’t know it yet.
If it was on purpose, then naval vessels and some small, isolated ChiCom commando / spetznaz bases become big force multipliers, because they can be kept Coronavirus “pure” for later attacks when their Western enemy forces are all infected and not battle ready.
(Even if PWW1 was not begun on purpose, getting a head start on quarantining key military assets becomes a big factor.)
China is only strong because we LET them grow strong, due to our stupidity and greed for cheap shit. That’s OVER. Now China HAS to make it’s big move FAST, or it is like a hot-house flower factory after the greenhouse glass is all smashed and only hail is coming down instead of sunshine.
The CCP has 1.5 billion mouths to feed, and they can’t feed themselves on their own. Impossible. When the rest of the world dials down their imports from China as a survival move, big strong China as we know it DIES. So it HAS to make its big move RIGHT NOW, while we are nearly on our backs economically.
If the CCP/Chinese Communist-Nazi Party waits for Uncle Sam to recover, they are DONE. Then all we have to do is boycott them as nasty dirty lying cheating bio-war-spreading bastards, and they will STARVE. Famine, revolution and the end of the CCP follows. (And we should NEVER forget the American and Western Quisling traitors who profited massively by setting us up for this inevitable PWW1)
Then, only after China (the sick man of Asia) has its begging bowl out to the the world again, then MAYBE, they can be slowly welcomed back into global citizenship good standing. IF they can prove they are not still lying, filthy, bat-eating bio-weapon-spreading bastards. Hanging every member of the Chinese Communist Nazi Party would be a necessary start of that process.
“Fired” is the wrong term, no matter who used/uses it.
The Navy officer relieved of duty is still a Navy officer; he’s just been reassigned, for now. He may yet be given a new command assignment. He may face a hearing or further review of some sort. He may face some further disciplinary action, and that action may result in a number of different possible changes in his status. But for now he is not “fired”.
Command structures like the military DEPEND ON the protocols of command to be followed religiously. In war they are what helps officers to know that orders given will be followed, they can depend on it. The military, in order to be always prepared for war, must act as if it is at war, all the time, when it comes to the command structure and the protocols of command. A Navy commander who obtains the command of an aircraft carrier has learned that already. One who has lost his command has forgotten it.
Sounds like he deserved it, panicked.
