"He tried to help us": the crew of the aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy reported on allegiance to the captain

92

American leadership fleet accused the recently dismissed captain of the aircraft carrier "Theodore Roosevelt" of professional unfitness due to his mental abilities.

Stupid or naive


The stormy farewell of the crew of this ship with its commander forced to send the highest representatives of the fleet to Guam, where it was moored. And about. Navy Minister Thomas Modley flew to the US Pacific base on Sunday, where he met with aircraft carrier personnel.



As he explained to the crew, their former commander Brett Crozier violated the well-known to all sailors and soldiers UCMJ [Unified Code of Military Justice] by divulging confidential information about the infection of aircraft carrier personnel.

As I believe, if he thought that this information would not be known to the general public on the same day in our information age, then he was either too naive or too stupid to be the commander of such a ship

- Modley explained to the sailors, indicating that Crozier’s actions were a “betrayal of trust”, which he enjoyed on the part of his superiors and team.

As the edition of Task & Purpose points out, the speech of the acting The minister aroused violent indignation from the crew and was constantly interrupted by shouts.

What the heck?!

- spoke out one of the sailors after saying about the stupidity of the captain.

He tried to help us.

shouts another sailor.

Love and ships


Against this background, Modley reprimanded the crew for their loyalty to the captain.

I understand that you love this guy. It’s good that you love him. But you should not love him [...] You should only respect him. You do not have to love your job, just do it. You should not expect anything from your commanders, except that they will treat you fairly and put the ship’s [combat] mission in the first place

- said Modley.

And about. The minister pointed out that Crozier’s actions not only exposed the problems of the American fleet in the face of the Chinese threat, but also caused “great controversy in Washington.” According to him, the former captain of the aircraft carrier created the image of a “martyr who did not receive the help he needed.”

Opponents of President Donald Trump, in particular Joe Biden, who is aiming for him, have already taken advantage of this situation. Democrats demand to open an investigation into the removal of Crozier. Support him and the general public.

At present, more than 253 thousand people have signed up to the captain’s reinstatement petition. However, given its popularity, most likely we will soon see him in big politics.

          Not quite clear situation. As I understand it, his letter where he asks to take more decisive measures to combat the virus somehow got into the network. Which one? How did the captain’s official correspondence with the command get there? Himself malnourished in order to put pressure on his command? Well, apparently, they fired for this.

              Already everyone apologized to the captain.
              And Modley apologized, saying that he was misunderstood.
              And Trump, who unconditionally supported the dismissal at first, said that "... one bad day shouldn't put an end to the career of a brilliant officer." hi
              By the way, the captain himself became infected with the coronavirus.
              So he knew exactly what he was writing to the command.

              Alexei, and sweeping the problem under the rug is an awesome solution? The captain must have acted in force majeure and the instruction probably in this case does not imply turn into a "Flying Dutchman".

          Acting Secretary of the U.S. Navy Thomas Modley resigned the night before. This was the culmination of a dramatic story with the dismissal of the commander of the American aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, Brett Crozier, who was removed from office by Minister Modley after sending out a letter in which the ship's captain asked the command of the Navy to take "decisive measures" to contain the outbreak of the Covid-7 coronavirus on board aircraft carrier cruiser. The contents of the letter leaked to the media, which served as the reason for the resignation of Crozier.

                    Look at the ratio of survivors and deceased from coronovirus in the UK. Having studied this ratio, you will understand how great the risk of death is in the absence of medical care in a limited space. For the United States, there are no threats now to risk the loss of the crew of a nuclear aircraft carrier. Trump's delay has caused an outbreak of the virus in the United States, which will be 10 times higher than the outbreak in the PRC. Trump's delay in isolating patients on an aircraft carrier and carrying out disinfection could damage the US Navy, which it has not suffered over the past 10 years from all US enemies.

                  Here's another thing, even if they don’t die, everyone is young and relatively healthy (although this happens), then in any case, if the whole crew gets sick in the middle of the ocean, they will definitely make the ship sky-ready and can theoretically even lead to an accident or some other disaster. .
                  The main question is where the leak of information to the press came from, if it got what it deserved from the captain, if from somewhere else - then the situation is not clear at all.

                    Yes, while mortality will be much higher. But the aircraft carrier is combat ready.

                    The question, in fact, is in this price, the price of the ship’s combat efficiency. The captain was the one who is willing to pay much less than his superiors. For which he suffers.

        Actually, the captain is a disgrace, arranged a concert because of a hundred people with snot, well, they would have sneezed and recovered, not cholera, an alarmist

        Why "alarmist" at once?
        Once, preparing to fight the USSR, the Americans allowed losses in their European grouping up to 70%. And this was considered acceptable. But then the tendency "to take care of personnel", "to take care of every person" began. And Americans are really trying to follow it. Like us, by the way

        So, proceeding from the attitude "to protect every person" the captain acted correctly. Began to "beat the bells"
        However, the authorities, apparently, began to fool. Incorporating the imperatives of the Cold War. With "acceptable losses that do not affect combat effectiveness."

        The captain had a cognitive dissonance between the proclaimed principle of "take care of everyone" and the demands to "complete the task at any cost." And he dumped the correspondence to the public.

              According to Modli, Crozier was removed from office due to loss of confidence: he did not contact his immediate superior, who was with him on the aircraft carrier, but sent a letter to 20-30 recipients, among whom were not only his leaders from the Navy. Modley stressed that he does not know who leaked the letter, but believes that Crozier did not make sure that it remained a secret.

              In March 2020 he sent command the report on the outbreak of the coronavirus on board the aircraft carrier and suggested that the crew be evacuated, since the living conditions on the warship do not allow sailors to maintain a safe distance. “It will require a political decision, but it will be the right decision. We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die. If we don’t take action now, we won’t be able to properly take care of the most valuable resource - our sailors ”

              The commander wrote a letter and sent to his superiors exactly how the team found out, including the text; it’s not entirely clear, but found out and wrote about the commander’s approval in social networks, it was read by newspaper men, who then contacted the sailors on the aircraft carrier on anonymous terms. The commander himself did not write to the newspaper and did not say anything to them.

      Friends, let's use the right marine terminology. Navy warships have no captains, but commanders. Captains command civil courts.
      Now to the point. If the commander is not able to ensure the combat readiness of the ship entrusted to him in peacetime, then how will he act in real combat? The answer is obvious. This is too large a ship to be commanded by a mediocre officer, a guy on the board, a universal favorite.
      However, we will not advise anything to a potential enemy, let their fleet fall apart. Let the good guys command them, who will not offend flies.

So he said that from the regiment in the ranks he had less battalion !!!! The rest of the soldiers and officers were in the rank of the unit with various skin diseases and could not cure them in any way. There are tanks, there are armored personnel carriers, there is artillery, but there is no one to fight with them !!! So this information was made public only in the 90s. And then the whole world knows that an aircraft carrier is sailing at sea on which an epidemic is raging! The captain is definitely wrong. But the crew are young!
