The Navy is investigating the death of a junior sailor who died aboard the amphibious assault ship Bataan last month, officials confirmed this week.
Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Amare Long was found dead on the ship April 18, according to Naval Surface Force Atlantic spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Jason Fischer.
“Our thoughts go out to his family and shipmates during this incredibly difficult period, and we would ask that their privacy be respected at this time,” Fischer said in an email.
