The aircraft carrier "Theodore Roosevelt" will continue to perform combat missions

The American aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, on board of which a coronavirus outbreak is recorded, will not be quarantined in the port, but will continue to carry out combat missions. This was stated by the commander of the United States naval operations, Admiral Mike Guilday.

Speaking at a briefing on the situation on the aircraft carrier, Gilday said that the ship will remain in service and that he is still ready to carry out the tasks.

As for Theodore Roosevelt, we have made great progress in testing (among the crew - approx.) And returning people from the ship. We will increase testing efforts. We will spend it fast. Aircraft carrier in full (performs its functions - approx.), It remains

- declared admiral.

In turn, the acting US Navy Secretary Thomas Modley said the Navy’s command plans to remove 2700 crew members from the aircraft carrier, but part of the crew will remain and will support the aircraft carrier in combat so that, if necessary, the ship leaves.

We have already removed about 1 thousand personnel from the ship. And over the next couple of days, we expect to bring 2700 people ashore. I want to note that we cannot and will not remove the entire crew from the ship

- he explained.

Modley also said that currently 93 confirmed cases of coronavirus infection have been recorded on board, a total of 1273 people have been tested, but data on them has not yet arrived.

Earlier, US Secretary Mark Esper emphasized that despite the spread of the coronavirus, the Pentagon will not take measures that will make it impossible for the American army to carry out tasks.

It is impossible to close the armed forces. We have a mission - protecting the United States and its citizens, and we are fulfilling it

- the minister said.

Under the conditions of the exploiting system, democracy can be nothing more than a specific form of organization of political power of one or another dominant exploiting minority, its dictatorship.

Another task has been added - to carry the planet a "democratic" coronavirus.

So there are simply no other aircraft carriers. Another in the Persian Gulf, that's all. The rest are not combat-ready, either under repair, or where else. The American aircraft carrier flew something today. On the other hand, to remove half the crew and at the same time carry out combat missions, as it is doubtful. Two shifts in a row without a break? And if, for example, all the minders got sick, or I don’t know, the hangar team? Will the cooks (excuse me, coca) serve? This is weird.

[Kerensky]

Vitaliy. And how! They offer me to head the communications center, and in the staff they give me a plumber, a bulldozer from a dump, a retired pilot and a couple of cooks. Will win? Of course!

And why does he need this aircraft carrier, wanders around the world "firing up". Remove all unnecessary, leave 50 people to support life, and anchor. The main thing is not the actions of the aircraft carrier, but simply its presence. And they just need to be afloat as a monument.

[Air force]

At first, I also thought so about rotation and infection, but this is what the thought came to, if everything that they say about COVID19 is true and if the medical board in the states is normal and the soldiers are physically strong then: we can assume that most of the crew will get sick and get immunity to the virus, they will leave on the ship the minimum crew for maintaining the reactor, if they become infected, then they will have to be replaced either with those who have already been ill if they have the appropriate skills, or they will send a replacement and provide it with increased protective equipment and will wait from 20 to 30 days. This is how much the virus is treated on average, judging by the publications. Plus, yesterday, in the comments, we discussed the topic of disinfecting the ship, how expensive and difficult it is, in principle, I also thought so at first, but now I think why should I disinfect it just enough to wait until the virus dies on the surfaces itself; it probably lives for 15 days maybe a little more. PS If they do everything right, then they generally can get a team with immunity. But as the saying goes, "it was smooth on paper, but they forgot about the ravines" not everything about the virus and immunity is known, it is also not known what the soldiers are like in fact, healthy as in the movies or not quite. And many more unforeseen factors, including human ones. So let's see what comes of it.

[newcomer]

The idea is interesting, but unlikely. Even if we go this way, then they will have to wait for unified ones for a long time. Because not everyone gets sick and not immediately, but given the number of teams, we get a mathematical progression. But in any case, it will be necessary to disinfect, no one has canceled the relapse, even in cases of illness.

[your1970]

Already have re-infected in China

plans to remove 2700 crew members from the aircraft carrier

With a crew of 3200 people, more than 80% of the crew will have to be replaced. And by whom? After all, they cried about understaffing in the armed forces, the lack of pilots. Go ahead, the main thing

We have a mission - protecting the United States and its citizens, and we are fulfilling it

missionaries are bad (vegetable).

[Kushka]

This is how to count. Considering how many US the AN is and how many decades
they have them, in the "reservists" there is a crew for each AN.
Another thing is that even in the shopping center, where the crew has several sailors,
where a roar and a chatter, one nod of your head or a look is enough,
so that one sailor understands another second to implement the decision.
To work in the crew of 4000 people, a year is not enough.

[KVU-NSVD]

Of course, the Americans know better, only throwing between the struggle against the epidemic on board and the attempt to save face will not bring to good.

[Avior]

A logical decision, although not cheap.
Carry out 100% testing of the crew for the virus and leave the minimum necessary for the tasks
Anyway, a big war is not expected in the coming months, so the entire crew is optional

"We have a mission to protect the United States and its citizens, and we are doing it."

How competently made the substitution of concepts! Who attacks you !?
The whole world knows the United States as the main gendarme and aggressor of the planet.
And you see, they fulfill the mission in this way, they protect their citizens - in Korea, in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, in Libya, in Syria ........
Or maybe coronavirus is a manifestation of the highest justice, where can everyone deserve it?

[mordor]

It is necessary to change the crew, now the Macedonians are torn, they want to prove their love for NATO, just the whole population will be enough for one crew, and they are noble sailors and pilots.

[Amateur]

The US Navy Command would sometimes find it helpful to watch Hollywood movies. For example, "Cry of a Dolphin" in 1986.

The US Navy nuclear submarine Archelon is sent on combat duty. On board are four missiles with a secret virus - the latest biological weapons, "far superior (so in the movie!) To nuclear capabilities." As a result of the depressurization of the rocket, the virus enters the boat and infects the crew. The fleet command gives Archelon an order to remain on alert, as there is no cure for the virus. Gradually, the crew begins to go crazy and refuses to obey the boat commander. The “Chef” is not in himself - in an attempt to take revenge on the world, he gives the order to sink passenger ships, and then he wants to launch rockets with a virus in order to destroy humanity. At the last moment, the captain changes his mind and sends the boat into a vertical dive to the bottom of the ocean.

We'll just change his combat missions. There was an "aircraft carrier", now there will be a "virus carrier". Trust me, it's much cheaper and more efficient.

Remind the minister who attacked the USA and when?

[faterdom]

We have already removed about 1 personnel from the ship. And over the next couple of days, we expect to bring 2700 people ashore

This aircraft carrier is simply not ready, if you do not smoke muddy concepts about "mission" and other nonsense.
One life support and watch on duty will eat up all the remaining personnel, and it is not known how many reactors, power engineers, aircraft technicians, and physicians themselves remain in service.

[sanik2020]

The aircraft carrier "Theodore Roosevelt" will continue to perform combat missions

And with whom the battle, with people or coronavirus?
In general, American democracy, for some reason, does not live without human sacrifice.

[TermNachTer]

I still wildly apologize, but what kind of combat capability are we talking about if a quarter of the crew is missing on board?

And you do not need to feed them. Throw enemies over the corpses of the dead, as did the hordes of savages besieging the city. With an aircraft carrier, this is easy.
