Navy fires the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt days after he pleaded for 'decisive action' for sailors with coronavirus. Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly announced that Navy Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved of his duties for loss of confidence. Crozier had sent an urgent letter to the U.S. Navy on Sunday, seeking to evacuate and isolate the crew as cases of coronavirus infection increased on the vessel. "Decisive action" was required to prevent deaths from the coronavirus, Crozier wrote. Ref. USAToday.
The captain took the right decision. It can't be that this part of the navy is completely abandoned because of political movements against them. I'm glad that the crewmen would at least get treatment and the captain will always be recognized as a true leader; who's really in control of the corona virus anymore when lives are put at stake recklessly?

I wish the details of this case could be brought to the open as there is so much speculation as to what actually happened that led to his dismissal.
