Aircraft Carriers

Thousands of sailors who were scheduled to head back to the East Coast after deploying to the Middle East will remain at sea.

A sailor who was moved to an intensive care unit in Guam last week has died from the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

About 230 Marines and sailors arrived in Guam this week to support members of the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt.

The sailor is a member of the crew of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt, which reported its first cases of COVID-19 on March 24.

Politico reported Tuesday that a sailor on board the carrier Nimitz (CVN 68) has tested positive for COVID-19.

Nearly 300 sailors on the carrier Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

The New York Times cited two Naval Academy classmates of Capt. Brett Crozier.

Capt. Crozier was within his rights to raise concerns with about a troubling situation on his ship, CNO Adm. Gilday said.

The commanding officer of the USS Roosevelt says there are more than 100 positive cases of coronavirus among its crew.
