Loose lips sink ships. Especially when the commander - emails an open letter to a newspaper.

Posted: Apr 7th, 2020 - 5:02 am In Reply to: Also, that fired Navy Captain for not following chain of - command and the crew CHEERED

As with so much these days, this is just weird. The Navy does not just hand the keys to a freaking Nimitz-class flattop to a random airdale. There’s a lot of competition for that job.

What’s even stranger is that the captain didn’t discuss this with the admiral, on the same ship, whose quarters were next door to the captain. They saw each other every single day. How does a guy just decide to chuck his career overboard in this fashion?

He copied 20 people on the unaddressed letter, sent over an unsecured line with classified info!! HE did not speak to his direct superior, carrier strike group commander Rear Adm. Stuart Baker, about his concerns before sending the memo, despite Baker being on the carrier and living within feet of Crozier.
