Emails reveal how Capt. Crozier's pleas for help from the Navy fell on deaf ears until his bombshell letter leaked

The day after three sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Navy Capt. Brett Crozier knew that his crew faced a serious threat from the disease.

In a March 25 email to a loved one, Crozier wrote that it was possible that 50 crew members could be ill by the end of that week, noting that the only environment worse for contagious disease was likely prison.

“And of course my opinion regarding Covid cases on [the ship] are between you and I,” Crozier wrote in a follow-up email on March 25. “Some off ship aren't being very realistic about it despite evidence to the contrary.”

The emails are among 300 pages of communications that the Navy recently provided to Task & Purpose following its Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the service in April.

Sounds like this guy got railroaded out of the Navy for trying to address the problem... and that many of his initial efforts fell on deaf ears.
