Looky here (you'll have to scroll down):
Stung by seeing one of its Pacific fleet aircraft carriers stuck in Guam with almost 600 coronavirus cases, the US Navy said an Atlantic fleet carrier will extend its time at sea to keep it virus free.
The USS Harry S Truman will delay its homecoming to its Norfolk, Virginia, homeport, after a deployment to the Middle East, Navy officials said.
The carrier, which left on its current deployment in November, will complete what the Navy calls the "sustainment" phase of its operation at sea, the officials said.
[yesterday's musings on just this subject]
Now that a sailor from the TR has died from Covid-19, we know that Capt. Crozier was right and the knuckleheads at the Pentagon were wrong. More to the point, we should ask the following question of said knuckleheads.
Why did the Navy not cancel all shore leaves from November? A ship is a natural quarantine, of course. Or petri dish if a virus takes hold.
Yes, the Pentagon denies that there was 'a product' titled as such. But does that mean the IC didn't report their findings? Given the gravity of the findings, only an imbecile would buy that.
