Captain Brett Crozier Vs SECNAV Thomas Modly

摘要

First, a brief recap of those seven astonishing days last spring when the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, clocked in Guam, became the focus of global attention: March 30: Captain Brett Crozier, commanding officer of the Roosevelt, sends an unclassified memo asking the US Navy to urgently remove his crew from the COVID-stricken carrier. March 31: Crozier's memo is leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle. April 2: Citing a lapse in judgement, US Navy Acting Secretary Thomas Modly relieves Crozier of command. That evening, a video showing Crozier leaving the Roosevelt amid loyal cheers from his crew goes viral.
