George Washington sailors have been banned from drinking alcohol on or off base under liberty restrictions implemented in the wake of two sailors' deaths following the ship’s arrival in Japan. (Ryo Isobe/U.S. Navy)

The crew of the carrier George Washington has been banned from drinking alcohol on or off base under a new set of liberty restrictions implemented in the wake of the deaths of two sailors following the ship’s arrival in Japan.

The updated rules, which apply to approximately 3,000 sailors assigned to the hulking ship, went into effect Nov. 26, a spokesperson for the carrier told Stars and Stripes. The restrictions are not intended to be permanent.


Also under the regulations, which were implemented four days after the ship pulled into Yokosuka Naval Base on Nov. 22, sailors under the age of 20 will not be allowed to take overnight liberty, Stripes reported.

This is called virtue signaling.  If one had killed him/herself drinking it would be sad but just the way it goes sometimes.  But two, off the same ship, it's time to show you "care." 0052
