"I certainly don't question his motives," Vice Adm. Bill Merz said of Crozier, who was relieved from the USS Roosevelt after speaking out about the coronavirus.
Sailors from the coronavirus-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt were “upset” and “struggling” after Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved of duty when he tried to get them help, a Navy vice admiral told CNN on Friday.
Merz emphasized that the crew is capable and performing well, but rattled. Many crew members told Merz they were still worried about the fate of their former commanding officer. Sailors applauded, cheered and chanted Crozier’s name when he left the ship last week. “We needed to give them more information about the true dangers of the virus,” and how the Navy was handling it aboard the ship, he said.
Modly then took a $243,000 flight to Guam Monday to tell Crozier’s crew that their captain had been “too naive or stupid” to lead the ship. One sailor can be heard shouting “what the fuck” at Modly at that point in a recording of the speech that was leaked to the press.Merz said the sailors were “visibly still upset” about Modly’s visit. “I think they just needed to tell somebody about how much that hurt them and disappointed them,” he said.
