China News Service, April 25. According to the Associated Press, informed sources said on the 24th that the US Navy Operations Secretary Mike Gildy had suggested that the former captain of the aircraft carrier "Roosevelt" Reit Kroze be reinstated.
The report said that if this proposal is approved, the dramatic incident on the "Roosevelt" is expected to end. This incident shook the navy leadership, caused thousands of crew members to go ashore for isolation, and caused widespread impact on the US Pacific Fleet.
On March 24, three people on board the Theodore Roosevelt were diagnosed with the new coronavirus. Since then, the number of people diagnosed has gradually increased, and they arrived in Guam at the end of March to stop. At that time, Captain Brett Crozer sent a letter to the senior US Navy, requesting that the officers and men on the ship go ashore as soon as possible to be isolated and tested to curb the spread of the virus. On April 2, Acting U.S. Navy Secretary Thomas Modley dismissed Crozet as captain.
In addition, the US Navy stated on April 23 that all officers and soldiers of the "Roosevelt" had been tested for the new coronavirus. 840 people tested positive, and 4 of them were being treated in the hospital.
