Who is Capt. Brett Crozier? Hear him talk about his Navy career and commanding the USS Theodore Roosevelt
.
The public will now finally judge for themselves what happened on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt before and after Capt. Brett Crozier warned Navy commanders that his sailors were at risk of dying from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) unless most of the crew was placed into individual quarantine.
Task & Purpose is publishing more than 1,200 pages of communications to and from Crozier’s email address in March and April 2020, which show how quickly COVID-19 swept through his ship and how the Navy brass failed to grasp just how dire the situation truly was.
Crozier was fired as the aircraft carrier’s commanding officer on April 2. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday later decided not to reinstate Crozier as the ship’s captain for allegedly not moving crew members ashore quickly enough.
