So, if I remember correctly the admiral commander of the strike group would be Croziers immediate boss, the next in the chain of command? So Trump is taking issue with the wrong person for starters; and the ‘letter’ that he is so scornful of wasn’t “all over the place”, rather an objective assessment of how they could proceed.
Who knows if standard CDC guidelines and pandemic procedures even apply to an aircraft carrier in peacetime? I mean, are we even sure we’re in peacetime?
I can see why they’re saying he lost his nerve, but it’s super fucking harsh...
So. The admiral commanding the strike group would make that decision with the approval of the CNO and state department. No mere captain would ever do that. Further, this carrier is nuclear and would likely not require refueling. Resupply could be accomplished at sea. So there is no such discretion at sea.
