WASHINGTON (AP) ? The captain of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier facing a growing
outbreak of the coronavirus on his ship was fired Thursday by Navy leaders who
said he created a panic by sending his memo pleading for help to too many people.
Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said the ship’s commander, Capt. Brett Crozier
“demonstrated extremely poor judgment” in the middle of a crisis. He said the
captain copied too many people on the memo, which was leaked to a California
newspaper and quickly spread to many news outlets.

More than 100 sailors on the ship have tested positive for the virus, but none
are hospitalized at this point.

“What it does, it undermines our efforts and the chain of command’s efforts to
address this problem and creates a panic and creates the perception that the Navy
is not on the job, the government is not on the job, and it’s just not true,”
Modly said.
