I disagree. I've read his whole speech (it's posted in - pdf on scribd.com), and he

flew there to explain himself because that crew was clearly upset. He went there and spoke very candidly to them. Here is some of it:

"When I first heard you had COVID on here, I was actually planning on being here last Tuesday after I went to see the Mercy off in Los Angeles. So I want you to know that no one at my level has been ignoring the situation here from the very beginning.

I reached out to your CO through my Chief of Staff very, very early on in this crisis. On Sunday I told him that i wanted to come out to the ship and if it would be okay or if it would be too disruptive. I told him that because I wanted to be able to help, if there was anything else he needed as this massive effort was underway to get you guys healthy and clean and safe.

He waved me off. He said he felt like things were under control. He had been concerned a day or so before that things weren't moving quickly-- he still wanted to get more beds-- but he didn't think it was necessary. He also talked to my Chief of Staff and emailed back and forth with him... on Sunday Night, he sent that email...

"It was a betrayal... your shipmates... the ones on shore right now who told me that when Captain Crozier's email made it to the San Francisco Chronicle after working 15 hour days, they were demoralized because they knew what they had been doing for you guys since the 25th of March to get you guys what you need.

"And the other thing you need to understand is, we're in Guam. It's a US territory, but they have their own government and they have their own healthcare problems, and they're scared too... the Governor of Guam stuck her neck out big time with her own population to say that she is willing to open up hotel rooms all over this territory so that sailors from the Roosevelt can go and be safe... when Capt Crozier's letter came out to the public, she had to deal with all her constituents who are saying 'Holy crap, what's happening, we're going to have 5000 people with COVID in our city without proper healthcare...

"(For) nearly 300 other ships in the fleet, your captain's actions had implications for them too. Imagine every other CO also believed the media was a proper channel to air grievances with their Chain of Command under difficult circumstances. We would no longer have a Navy. Not long after that, we would no longer have a country."
