House Armed Services Committee members have demanded answers about the U.S. Navy's abrupt dismissal of the commanding officer of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt after the leak of his letter to superiors calling for help with a coronavirus outbreak.
Capt. Brett Crozier was relieved of his command on Friday, four days after his letter asking for the Navy's help was leaked to the San Francisco Chronicle. In his letter, Crozier urged a "political solution" and "immediate and decisive action" as his crew dealt with the coronavirus outbreak.
