WASHINGTON: The captain of the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt, in a blunt letter confirmed to Reuters on Tuesday (Mar 31), has called on Navy leadership for stronger measures to save the lives of his sailors and stop the spread of the coronavirus aboard the ship.
The four-page letter, the contents of which were confirmed by US officials to Reuters, described a bleak situation on board the nuclear-powered, 5,000-person carrier as more and more sailors test positive for the virus.
