Michael Gilday said Thursday that “all options are on the table,' and he is not ruling out reinstating Capt. Brett Crozier to his position.
"I am taking no options off the table as I review that investigation," Gilday said to reporters during a phone conference Thursday. "I think that's my responsibility to approach it in a way that's with due diligence to make sure that it's completely fair and as unbiased as I can possibly make it.
Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly fired Crozier after he wrote a letter warning that the outbreak of coronavirus aboard the ship had created a dire situation on the carrier and urged that the nearly 5,000 sailors on board be evacuated. The letter was leaked to a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, who first reported it last week.

Modly then apologized for the profane-laced address to crew members aboard the ship, which was docked at a port in Guam that he had traveled to specifically to give the address. He was forced to resign from his position on Tuesday.Vandana Rambaran is a reporter covering news and politics at foxnews.com. She can be found on Twitter
